KoonowlaClare Valley Rosé 2022
About this product
Just west of the Auburn township, our estate vineyard is set on a southern-facing, rocky site that is perfect for nurturing cool climate fruit characters in both red and white varieties.
Our rosé is a distinctive, fresh style made from merlot that has been managed in the vineyard specifically to express amazing flavour while still retaining palate excitement and aromatic lift.
Merlot, in fact, works a treat in this style, a softer, plumper red wine grape that when picked at just the right rosé ripeness gives you great flavour with a vivacious personality, further enhanced in the winery without any oak maturation and overt winemaking influence.
"Merlot is coming back, I say and hear often. And bottling it as rosé might offer this polarising grape variety a carte blanche. Deep salmon colour and matching sweet red fruit profile. Strawberry and cranberry mingle with spice and creamy Greek yoghurt. It is on the sweeter side, showing generous red fruits and ripe pink grapefruit. Chill it, add freshly cut orange wedges, and enjoy a zesty and winey Aperol Spritz challenger!"
