REGION- Barossa Valley

ALC/VOL- less than 0.5%

As close as you will get to a rosé, minus the alcohol.

Smells like strawberries, raspberries, cherries, watermelon and red apples.

Tastes like watermelon and pink grapefruit, and has a nice creaminess at the finish. It starts off sweet and ends up with the acid balancing the sugar. The salt also helps to smooth out the back of the palate and add length. Some spritz in the glass adds freshness and makes it nice and playful on the palate.

This non-alc Rosé is made out of 50 year old Semillon from Vine Vale in the heart of the Barossa Valley. We also used some 50 year old, dry grown Riesling from Greenock.The grapes were then pressed and the juice was chilled, settled and filtered. At this stage it is known as Verjus (early picked grape juice). Barossa Wine Cartel then added Adelaide Hills Cherry Juice for colour, flavour and tannin to the Rosé.

Murray River Salt was added to add weight to the palate and help soften the acid and dull down the sweetness of the grape juice and cherry juice.

To balance the Rosé, Adelaide Hills Spring Water was added and a small amount of dissolved carbon dioxide was added at bottling to give the Rosé a slight spritz on the palate.
