Minuty Prestige Rosé
Hentley Farm Villain & Vixen Rose
Founded in 1997 by Keith and Alison Hentschke, Hentley Farm embarked on a remarkable journey with a singular vision: to create exceptional single estate wines that showcase the distinct character of the Barossa Valley. Prior to this endeavour, Keith's extensive credentials in Agricultural Science and Wine Marketing, earned through his studies at Roseworthy College, set the stage for his pursuit of excellence in winemaking. During his years of preparation, Keith diligently explored the region, seeking guidance from local winemakers and viticulturalists who pointed him in the direction of the Barossa's red/brown soil over limestone. Armed with this invaluable knowledge, he strategically located the finest parcels of land using an old soil map from the 1950s. This quest led them to a picturesque mixed farming property nestled among the rolling hills along the banks of Greenock Creek in the western region of the Barossa. Here, they discovered a remarkable diversity of soil types, varying aspects, and altitudes, forming the foundation for their winemaking pursuit. In 2004, Hentley Farm expanded its estate with the acquisition of a neighbouring vineyard that shared the coveted natural amphitheatre of rolling hills surrounding the property. This addition further enhanced the diversity of the site, solidifying Hentley Farm's position as a single estate spanning 150 acres of pure vinous potential. Keith's background as an agricultural scientist played a crucial role in the meticulous exploration and understanding of the land before the planting process could commence at Hentley Farm. With a keen eye for detail, he delved into the unique characteristics of the site, discovering the intriguing influence of altitude differentials and variations in the east-west aspect, which resulted in unexpected microclimates. Collaborating with local viticulturalists, Keith embarked on an extensive endeavour to explore the diverse soils present on the property, employing the excavation of forty soil pits throughout the site. The extraordinary diversity of soil, aspect, and altitude presented both an opportunity and a challenge that demanded careful planning and precision in the vineyard layout. Factors such as varietal selection, clone selection, row spacing, orientation, trellising methods, and water management were meticulously considered. As a result, Keith and his team devised the concept of "viticultural blocks," dividing the single vineyard into nine distinct blocks based on similarities in soil type, aspect, and climate. Each block was further subdivided into rows to account for variations in soil, aspect, and microclimates. The vineyards were planted with a selection of grape varieties, with Shiraz comprising 70% of the plantings, followed by Grenache (17%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), Zinfandel (2%), and a small parcel of Viognier (0.5%). In 2002, the first wines from the property were released, showcasing the exceptional results of Keith's meticulous planning and the team's dedication to crafting wines of distinct character and quality. With his tenure beginning in 2008, Head Winemaker Andrew Quin has played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of the vineyard, dedicating himself to the creation of contemporary wines that embody the essence of traditional Barossa varieties. Andrew's unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence has left an indelible mark on the vineyard's evolution, ensuring that each bottle reflects the harmonious marriage of time-honoured grape varieties with a contemporary winemaking approach. With a keen focus on showcasing varietal diversity, the wines of Hentley Farm captivate with their allure and accessibility in their youth, while possessing the depth and structure necessary for extended cellaring. Andrew's dedicated stewardship has firmly established Hentley Farm as a prominent boutique winery in Australia, garnering acclaim from around the world, including the prestigious title of 2015 James Halliday Winery of the Year. Every bottle released from Hentley Farm tells a unique tale of the vineyard and the vintage, with production volumes limited by the boundaries of the estate and the conditions of each specific harvest. Beyond the single vineyard estates, Hentley Farm produces a portfolio of modern wines sourced from select vineyards across the Barossa including a range of wines under the Villain & Vixen label. As villains against convention they favour vixen like elegance, textural wines with enhanced vibrancy of fruit and varietal characteristics. Hentley Farm Villain & Vixen Rose represents the essence of a modern, dry-style Rosé that exudes complexity and vibrant, intense flavors. This delightful wine is abundant with delightful notes of raspberry, apple, sherbet, and fresh strawberry, creating a symphony of flavors on the palate. Its creamy and soft texture is perfectly complemented by a fine, well-balanced acidity, resulting in a refreshing and enjoyable drinking experience. Its fine acidity and soft texture create a perfect balance, making it an ideal companion for a variety of culinary delights.

This is a wine made for those who truly appreciate both the art of winemaking and the beauty of life itself.

With mineral-rich soils, 300 days of sun per year, and the cooling Mistral winds, these vineyards thrive in this picturesque setting. Maison Saint Aix is not only one of the largest domaines in the AOP Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation, but it is also one of the highest, sitting 420m above sea level. This elevation provides cooler nights and a greater Mistral effect, which helps dry the vines on dewy mornings, resulting in even better fruit.

From temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to pneumatic presses and next-generation harvesting machinery, every step is taken to ensure the production of the highest quality rosé that only Provence can offer. The domaine's 50-60 year old Grenache vines guarantee the highest quality juice, while the fruit from the younger vines brings a refreshing element to the blend. To maintain the harmony of the land, a busy replanting schedule is in place, replacing up to 4 hectares of vines each year with new ones. In early September, the vineyards come alive with a whirlwind of activity from the break of dawn until noon. This dedicated effort guarantees the grapes' utmost freshness, the preservation of their delicate aromas and minimizes the risk of oxidation. It is through this meticulous process that AIX acquires its distinctive colour, delicate aromas, gentle acidity and impressive length. The symbol of the vines reaching towards the sky beautifully captures the enchantment of the land and the camaraderie of those who cherish it. It serves as a poignant reminder of the carefree days spent together under the warm sun and the abundance of shared meals, cherished moments and unforgettable memories that lie ahead.

Savaterre Bon Vivant Rose
Product Description The 2021 Bon Vivant Rosé by Savaterre showcases the estate’s meticulous attention to detail and its mastery of blending varieties. Comprising 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Syrah, and 20% Chardonnay, this rosé offers a striking copper-pink hue and a wine of remarkable complexity. Aromas of rose petal, wild strawberry, white peach, cranberry, and red apple skin lead into an intriguing spice medley of star anise, nutmeg, and allspice. The palate is savoury and structured, with great acidity and a lively freshness that supports the deep, intense flavours. With its balance of texture, intensity, and length, this is a wine that excels when paired with food and good company. Maker: Savaterre is positioned on an elevated site with amphitheatre views across the King Valley in the rolling peaks and valleys of Beechworth. Located across the road from Giaconda, the site was discovered in 1996 by Keppell Smith, owner and winemaker. The close-planted vineyard is on ancient granitic soils at 440 metre (above sea level) and blessed with mild summer days, cool evenings thanks to the lofty elevation of the Victorian Alps. Viticulture follows low input principles and yields are less than two tonnes/acres. In the cellar, Kepp employs Burgundian techniques with the aid of indigenous yeasts. Each wine, be it Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Shiraz has individuality and striking concentration. Savaterre's well structured Chardonnay is matured in generous new and seasoned tight grained French oak for up to 19 months. Chardonnay undoubtedly Savaterre’s hero. The Pinot Noir is deep and layered with cherry stone/chocolate aromas and plenty of richness and flavour, and shrewdly bottle aged before release. Finally the Shiraz, or should we say Syrah? Always highly perfumed with distinct red fruit preserve and floral character. Mid weight, velvety, seamless and almost pinot-like in its vibrancy and weightlessness. Super fine tannins and in a neat frame. Philosophy At Savaterre, winemaking is rooted in the respect for the land and the belief that great wines start in the vineyard. The estate embraces sustainable, organic viticulture, focusing on maintaining a harmonious balance between the vines and their environment. Keppel Smith’s philosophy in the winery centres on minimal intervention, allowing nature to express itself freely. By using indigenous yeasts and avoiding filtration or fining, Savaterre wines are crafted to showcase their terroir with purity and depth. The aim is to produce wines that stand the test of time while remaining approachable and true to their roots. Tasting Notes NOSE: Floral, Fruity & Spicy A lifted bouquet of rose petal, wild strawberry, and white peach, interwoven with cranberry and a hint of red apple skin. The aromatic profile is further enhanced by spices such as star anise, nutmeg, and allspice, adding layers of complexity to the nose. PALATE: Savory, Structured & Complex Bold structure that provides a wonderful contrast to the wine’s vibrant acidity. The complexity continues with flavours that mirror the aromas, showing a harmonious balance between fruitiness and spice, all framed by a lively freshness that keeps the wine focused and long-lasting. FINISH: Refreshing, Elegant & Persistent Lingering hints of spice and mineral freshness, offering a beautiful balance of intensity and elegance. The wine’s acidity provides a refreshing lift, leaving the palate craving another sip.
