The Range
All Saints premium varietal wines are classic varieties, with fruit carefully selected from the best available vineyard sources and made to be enjoyed with family and friends. Most are made in the original winery deep inside the castle using handcrafted techniques including gentle basket pressing, open fermentation and finally, quiet ageing in French and American oak.The Wine
Rosé is the perfect drink for the warm afternoons and balmy evenings of spring and summer. A delicate pale salmon pink colour, it is beautifully refreshing, full of bright fruit flavours with a lovely crisp dry finish. The name Rosa honours our maternal Grandmother, who made mean scones and was handy at a game of cards with her friends. She would have enjoyed this wine with them.Variety
The 2018 Rosa was made from a blend of Sangiovese (67%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (33%); the Cabernet Sauvignon adds fresh berry aromas and flavours while the Sangiovese is the underlying delicate savoury note that carries through the wine to the finish. The two varieties together are perfect for making this style of aromatic dry Rosé.Winemaking
“Proper” rosé is made by macerating red grapes for a short period before pressing and fermenting the pink juice. For the 2018 Rosa, the Sangiovese was macerated on skins for 4 hours and the Cabernet Sauvignon only 1 hour before being pressed out and fermented. The wine was fermented in stainless steel to preserve the lovely fresh fruit characters, and then bottled in July 2018.
Food Matching
Extremely versatile, Rosé is ideal where a white wine might be overwhelmed by the food, or a traditional red would be too robust. Serve it chilled with lightly spiced Asian inspired vegetarian, fish or chicken dishes.Cellaring Potential
No way! Best enjoyed for its youthful exuberance, this wine should be consumed within two years of vintage.2017 Rosa Review
"A 55/45% split between sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon creates this flavoursome rose. Strawberries and raspberries sprinkled with spice plus plenty of watermelon freshness and juiciness. There's body to it, a savouriness with some sweetness on the finish - not too much though. Named after the Brown clan's grandmother Rosa who apparently like a glass of rose while playing cards." Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion, August 2018
