Whole Lotta Love

2009 Clare Valley Rosé

WINES

David Mavor

GRAPE VARIETIES

91% Grenache
9% Shiraz

REGION

100% Clare Valley

COLOUR

Electric raspberry red / pink.

BOUQUET

A lifted nose of rose petal, Turkish delight and cherry lollies balanced by a pleasantly herbaceous, almost soft spearmint character.

PALATE

Again carrying just 'on threshold' sugar, the palate is juicy and voluptuous without obvious, sugary sweetness. Confectionary and rose petals mingle with musk and cherry fruits and that subtle herbaceous note continues in the mouth with a fresh, clean finish.

GENERAL

Sufficient colour is extracted from a prolonged (36 hour) cold soak prior to fermentation and the pressings fraction is kept separate from the Rosé base, producing a fine wine without bitterness or drying tannins.

SERVE

A delicious brunch / light lunch wine - chilled to perfection with smoked salmon and chive scrambled eggs. Start your day off right!
