Bush Vine Rosé 2023
Couldn't load pickup availability
This Rosé is made from bush vines of Grenache and Mataro specifically managed with the intention of making a savoury, just ripe style of dry Rosé.
These varieties are perfect for bush vines growing in sand, being upright growers and water wise. The grapes were picked by hand early and made to be textural and refreshing. The wine is just ripe, grippy, fresh and delicious - it almost doesn't matter what the varieties are.
Limited quantities available.

"This is the label (and vineyard) of Dr Dylan Grigg, viticulturist to the (winemaking) stars.
There’s a bit more flesh to this 2023 than there was with the 2022, and it’s all the better for it. This is a lovely rosé. Copper-coloured with a hint of crimson, both red cherried and raspberried, tipped with orange-like notes, and both succulent and dry through the finish. It’s scented, dry, juicy and more-ish; everything you’d want in a rosé."
