WILLIAMSTOWN - BAROSSA VALLEY

The Wine
Visually bright, it glistens like a rose diamond (about 6PR on the diamond scale). Passionfruit and punchy initially, then it opens to strawberries, vanilla cream, and fresh herbs on the nose. The palate is dry and textural, almost crunchy, with flavours of quince, blood orange, umeboshi plums and a little hint of sweet spice that lingers. Refreshingly delicious. 12.5% alc.

Cellaring
Enjoy while young & fresh or drink by 2030.

The Winemaking
The grapes for this rosé are grown with the intention of making a rosé. Hand-made at the CRFT Carey Gully winery. Short cold-soak then pressed and wild fermented cool and slow in stainless steel on full solids. Lees stirring for texture and mouthfeel. Full wild malo-lactic fermentation. Vegan friendly. Certified organic.

The Vineyard
Situated on the corner of Wild Street and South Terrace on the slopes of Williamstown, the Wild South Vineyard is a very Australian scene. The old gum trees, rolling hills and the craggy bushland of the neighbouring Hale Conservation Park make you feel like one of McCloud’s Daughters are going to canter over the hill… on a brumby. The soil is visually spectacular too! The mica in the soil makes it sparkle in the sunlight.

Our Mencía grapes are grown by Matthew Rohrlach and his family in Williamstown (it’s also the home of our old vine Shiraz). The vineyard is located on the southern fringe of the Barossa Valley, just a couple kilometres from the boundary of the Adelaide Hills wine region.

The Wild South Vineyard has fully converted to organic and regenerative farming practices from 2021 and the wine is fully certified organic, including EU certified organic status from 2025.
