Terre à Terre Down To Earth Rosé 2024
Buy This Wine
The 2024 Piccadilly Rosé is made mostly from Sangiovese and Viognier from Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills. These grapes were blended with Cabernet Franc, Trousseau, Merlot, Mondeuse, Shiraz and Saperavi from our Piccadilly Valley vineyards and a vineyard on the outskirts of the Piccadilly Valley.
It is fermented and aged in a stainless-steel tank with some time on lees.
It is a more complex style of Rosé than most Australian examples and can be aged for up to five years. The 2024 has the hallmark of Trousseau Noir – fresh strawberries, pomegranate and some flinty notes. It also has the cherry blossoms and floral aromatics of Cabernet Franc.
The Sangiovese and Viognier vineyards are in Mount Barker, in the Adelaide Hills, on micaceous Schists soils. The other parcels of fruit (Trousseau Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz, Saperavi and Mondeuse) were harvested from vineyards around the Piccadilly Valley, a sub-region of the Adelaide Hills, at high altitudes of 500m and above.
