Angaston Road Growers Darren Heidenreich Barossa Valley Rosé 2023
Lifted bouquet of fresh fruits, strawberry, raspberry and cherry. The palate, bright fruit-driven palate of strawberry and under-ripe plum notes, balanced by a savoury backbone, and firm acidity freshening the finish. Best consumed young while expressing the fresh fruit driven characters of the variety. Oakdene is a boutique, family owned vineyard featuring a cellar door, restaurant, café, accommodation and gardens. Located on the stunning Bellarine Peninsula, the region’s cool maritime climate offers excellent conditions for producing low yields of high-quality fruit. 'A melody of cab, shiraz, merlot and franc making for an intensely flavoured rose. In an age when so many seem to be striving for pallid expressions bound by a herbal twine, this has flavour. Lots of it: red currant, musk, tangerine and orange rind. The acidity is saline and fresh, towing it all long.' (Ned Goodwin) - 92 Points
