Trentham Estate The Family Sangiovese Rosé 2022 (Murray Darling)

Sangiovese is the most widely planted grape variety in Italy. The variety produces diverse styles of wine ranging from light to full bodied red wine, depending on where it’s grown and the timing of harvest. When picked early, the light colour, red berry flavours and natural acid are well suited to making quality rosé.

The 2022 vintage was another great season following the ideal 2021. The season featured warm, mild weather which was ideal for the vineyards, but the harvest was delayed by a large rain event on Australia Day. The vintage has produced beautiful wines with lifted aromatic whites and deep coloured, full flavoured reds.

Harvested during the cool of the night, the grapes were crushed and pressed to obtain desired colour and flavour. The juice was then clarified and fermented in several stainless-steel tanks using both aromatic and savoury yeast strains that complement the style and variety.
