De Bortoli Pale & Dry Rosé Rosé 2024 (King Valley)

2024 was a slightly cooler than average year without any extreme heat. Due to a very wet and stressful Spring, it was a difficult growing season, however, fortunately post December the Summer became more normal. February and March dried out with ideal mild days which resulted in a fantastic year in the North East of Victoria for our white wines and Rosés. The reds are more elegant than normal and there are some very good parcels. The season was three weeks later than average, so we feel very fortunate to have ended up with the wines we have in the cellar.

A short period of time of skin contact prior to pressing results in a delicate pale Rosé colour, then fermented and left on lees for added mouth-feel.
