Winery & Vintage Info
Winemaking Notes
The Hero Preservative Free Rosé 2025 is hand-crafted from the best quality Shiraz and Pinot Noir fruit sourced from premium vineyards in the Central Ranges. Healthy and problem-free fruit is selected in the vineyard and then picked in the cool of the night before being rushed to the nearby winery for fast and focused vinification. With meticulous handling in the vineyard and winery, the pristine fruit has less exposure to anything harmful that may normally require the addition of preservatives, allowing the wine to sing without preservatives whilst remaining vegan-friendly.
Vintage Conditions
The 2025 vintage in the Central Ranges delivered ideal conditions for producing vibrant, fruit-forward rosé wines. A mild winter with adequate rainfall replenished soil moisture reserves, setting the foundation for healthy vine growth. Spring brought consistent temperatures that encouraged even bud-burst and flowering across the region. The growing season featured warm days balanced by cool nights, which intensified fruit flavours and aromatic compounds whilst preserving the natural acidity essential for fresh, lively wines. Harvest took place in the cool of the night under clear skies, with Shiraz and Pinot Noir grapes picked at optimal ripeness to capture the bright strawberry, blood orange and pink grapefruit character that defines this wine. The 2025 conditions produced pristine, problem-free fruit with exceptional colour, fragrance and flavour intensity.
