Tasting Notes
winemaker's notes
Dry Rosé is a great wine style – one that we put a lot of work into at Deep Woods Estate. This Rosé continues a run of excellent vintages, combining great freshness and lightness in a wine that is still complex and satisfying.
Julian Langworthy, Chief Winemaker
colour
Palest of pinks.
aroma
Forest berries with a hint of lifted rose petals.
palate
Unashamedly dry with a silken texture and vibrant, balanced acidity. Light- to medium-bodied, displaying raspberry and strawberry fruit flavours with a satisfying, persistent finish.
cellaring
Best enjoyed in the first two years from vintage to capture the freshness and the vibrancy of the wine.
Technical
winemaking and vintage notes
Shiraz, Merlot and Tempranillo are sourced from all over the Margaret River region for this emerging classic Rose. A huge effort is put in to pick on the coolest of nights and ensure that the fruit is processed in the fastest of possible fashions to ensure a rose of delicacy and great flavour. Oxidative handling of the juice helps ensure that the wine's colour and texture are on point and adds another dimension of character. Post-fermentation, brief maturation on light lees is followed by assemblage and bottling.
