The Bremerton Langhorne Creek Racy Rose 2022 vintage is produced from 100% estate grown fruit. On the palate the wine is racy and moreish, with savoury fruit, textural palate and a fine dry finish. The dry finish to the wine opens itself up to be drunk with a wide range of food parings.
Parcels of fruit were picked at optimum Rose flavour and acid balance. Then gently pressed after extracting desired colour and flavour. The free run juice was fermented under cool conditions which ensured that the delicate fruit flavours and textural palate weight were retained.
"It’s made with cabernet and shiraz and it’s a good, fresh, ‘racy’ drink. They’ve done well here. It’s fresh and mouthwatering, all green apple and citrus but with cherry and pomegranate infusions. Crisp is the word, as is refreshing, as is value. I particularly like the burst of blackcurrant-like flavour through the finish/aftertaste; it’s not a lot but there’s just enough to give the wine something extra." 89 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, July 2022, Drink: 2022 - 2024
The Racy Rose is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz picked when the flavour profile and ripeness is perfect for the savoury dry style. The grapes are pressed for minimal colour extraction and fermented dry before bottling to capture the freshness.
