Reviews & Accolades
2017 Vintage
"This is really about a reinvention of TB’s previous offering under this style. Cinsault has a lot of colour in it, "it was just crushed and pressed, and the darker red colour came immediately", says new winemaker for TB, Kate Wall, previously of Petaluma fame. The shiraz and grenache add layers of flavour, some weight and additional perfume.
Strawberry shortcake, watermelon juice, mixed peel, rose water scents. Soft, light, gently sweet rose of easy charm and great freshness. Smudge of savouriness to finish, walnut husks, clay and hay and the like, but a good chill will tighten up the wine. Acidity is suitably perky for easy drinking and vitality factor."
