Paradigm Hill 'Transition' Rosé Morning Peninsula

Carefully selected shiraz fruit was crushed and allowed to soak on skins for about 4 hours before pressing. The approach to making this wine is the same as for Pinot Gris with cooled ferments in Vosges-forest-sourced oak barrels till zero residual sugar. The yeast lees were mixed every 2 weeks before racking and bottling at 6 months. This wine has spicy and savoury aromas with just a hint of nutty oak. Vibrant fruit and spice with rich mouth-feel envelops the palate leading to a long and balanced finish.

A point of clarification: This is a rosé that deliberately departs from the lighter, sweeter expressions of rosé wines. The complex savoury character, fresh line of acid & bone-dry finish, lends itself as a perfect wine to accompany food and ideally suited to summer dining!
