2022 Voyager Estate Rose

ROSÉ 2022
“Crafted from a combination of Tempranillo, Merlot and Shiraz fruit, with a little
Sauvignon Gris thrown in for added lift and texture. This is a really fun drink – packed with
summer berries, but with plenty of savoury complexity and a fresh, mineral finish.”

METHOD
Produced primarily from a combination of Tempranillo for
raspberry & spice notes, Merlot for strawberry freshness and Shiraz
for floral aromatics & summer berries. Fruit was gently pressed to
extract a free run component with minimal colour then fermented
cool to help maintain aromatics. Some Viognier & Sauvignon Gris
was co-fermented for textural complexity and lifted aromatics.
VINTAGE
A cool start delayed flowering and slowed early vine growth, but by
late December our organic farming practices had the vineyard well
placed for another stellar vintage. Healthy canopies kept the grapes
cool through summer and preserved the freshness beautifully.
Harvest finished up in early April, with the whites showing
purity of fruit and incredible vitality.
