With healthy yields, we decided to bleed some juice away from the freshly picked Shiraz at Westgate Vineyard and Jallukar Ridge Vineyard while the juice was just pink, and ferment it in some old barrels as rosé. Wild yeast fermented to dryness, then left to sit on its yeast lees for 8 months before bottling. It’s a mid-weight, textural and dry rose, with strawberry, orange rind and fairy-floss aromas, spice and good weight in the mouth. Only 3 barrels, and I doubt it will last the summer!
