A sweet and savoury treat for the senses this rose is vibrant ruby in colour with a fresh acid line and crisp finish.
Cabernet bunches were crushed under foot and left to macerate for 36 hours before pressing to a single stainless steel tank for fermentation. After fermentation the cabernet was racked off lees into a 600L tank and sealed for elevage to retain fresh fruit characters. After a series of bench top trials the blend was made selecting a single barrique of fume blanc (pressings) to add texture and offer up an underlining savoury element to the confectionery fruits of the cabernet.
Fun Fact: This wine is named after our favourite Queen from The Commune of Buttons.
