Name: Asara Rosé 2007
Brand: Asara
SKU: 17569

This Rose is the first wine of the 2007 vintage to be released by the Estate. It is also the first time that we used specific vineyard blocks for the sole purpose of making Rose wine, giving you a vineyard made Rose from red grapes only. By choosing Shiraz and Gamay we celebrate our long history of wine making with the French varieties from the Cotes du Rhone area. The message from our Wine Cellar: "May this wine appeal to the more discerning palate as well as any wine lover who wants to drink a good dry Rose with an attractive colour".

Plant Spacing: 1.2m x 2.7m

about the harvest: We harvested both vineyards, Shiraz F3 and Gamay F7, at 22.5Âº Balling in order to achieve optimal flavour for RosÃ© as well as a lower alcohol in the final wine.

in the cellar : The grape bunches were crushed and de-stemmed before allowing a short period of skin contact in the press. Fermentation of the juice took place in stainless steel tanks. Shiraz grapes supply the deep colour as well as structure on the palate whilst the Gamay adds fruitiness and a touch of elegance.
