2024 Margaret River Rosé

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

Blushing, salmon pink.

aroma

Vibrant strawberries and cream with a hint of lifted rose petals.

palate

Juicy and flavoursome with fresh raspberry and ripe, expressive strawberry. An unashamedly dry finish with a gorgeous silken texture and bright acidity. 

cellaring

Best enjoyed within two years to capture the freshness and vibrancy of the wine.

vintage 

2024 was one of the earliest vintages ever seen in Margaret River. Consistently warm and dry conditions allowed for exceptional fruit ripeness and flavours with a very well-balanced natural acidity for such a hot year. Extensive marri blossom meant pest pressure in the vineyard was minimal. The quality of fruit is fantastic and 2024 has produced some very exciting wines with flavour definition and structure.

winemaking

Fruit is sourced from the Margaret River region and careful viticultural techniques are used to ensure a delicate Rosé with great flavour. In the winery, the juice is protected from oxygen to ensure optimum colour and freshness of aromas. The wine underwent a short maturation period on lees lending a smooth texture to the final Rosé.
