2023 Francesca Rosé
Grape Varietal— Merlot, Mourvedre
-
Sensationally perfumed (soft rose petals, ripe strawberries and fragrant citrus blossoms), Francesca Rosé is the perfect picnic companion. Delicately pink in colour, impossibly dry and intriguingly textural, this French-approved drop is quite simply delightful. Sit back and pour a glass - you’ll go straight to Provence.
Ranked Number #1 Rosè in NSW - 95 Points - The Real Review
" Watermelon, red apples and strawberries on the nose lead into a textural palate. A fine line of acidity injects freshness and life, signing off with a thirst-quenching talcy tail. This is a delicious rose which is off the drinkability scale!"- Gabrielle Poy
90 Points - Halliday Wine Companion
"Made from merlot (60% biodynamic and organic) and mourvèdre (40% organic). The varietals were fermented separately, then blended and bottled early. Whisper-pink hue. Sweet-natured, juicy melon flavours with lemon sherbert acidity. Pleasing weight and palate breadth. Excellent fruit purity."

We made our Francesca Rosé from Merlot & Mourvedre blend in this vintage. The fruit was handpicked early and quickly chilled to preserve the varietal grape characters. The fruit was then pressed gently with minimal skin contact, giving the juice the softest pink colour. After pressing, the wine was settled & fermented separately to allow the varieties to express their unique characteristics best. The wine was filtered, blended & bottled early to retain the beautiful aromatics.
