2023 DAOSA Piccadilly Valley Rosé
Buy This Wine
This is the fourth release of our DAOSA Rosé from our Piccadilly Valley vineyards. This wine is made mainly from Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, with a hint of Chardonnay, following the principles of our Method ClassicTM.
It is a very complex style of rosé, with a pink salmon colour. The strawberry aromas and subtle red blossom fragrances carry through on the palate, with a dry and spicy finish.
The fruit is sourced from several high altitude vineyard sites in the Piccadilly Valley, most of them with eastern aspects. All vineyards are on clay soils, with the geological formations mainly Basket Range Sandstone, Woolshed Flat Shale or Barossa Complex.
All the vineyards are at a minimum altitude of 500m, and were planted in the 1980s and 1990s. The Piccadilly vineyards are all managed by Terre à Terre, following the same strict management practices as the Crayères Vineyard, i.e. hand pruning (Guyot Double), shoot thinning, green harvest to control yields, and hand harvesting.
