VITICULTURE / WINEMAKING
The Sangiovese is planted on the northern edge of the Toolamba vineyard in some of the best fine sandy loam soil. The variety is notorious for overcropping but careful vineyard management maintained the crop levels to a sensible level from which the production of high quality table wines are produced. Vinification techniques used in Provence have been adopted in making this wine. The fruit is picked earlier than usual followed by minimal processing and regular mixing of the juice in the first four days which adds to the mouthfeel and richness. Fermentation follows with special yeasts commonly used in the South of France and at slightly warmer temperatures than most Australian Rose’ styles which results in greater complexity and retention of freshness and savoury tones.

HARVEST NOTES
2019 will be remembered as the hottest summer on record, exacerbated by a dry winter and early spring. The weather bureau had consistently forecast a warmer and drier than normal summer, and this finally eventuated after Christmas. February temperatures were just a fraction above average, but the heat was relentless, and there was no useful rainfall for the month so it remained exceedingly dry. Ripening continued to be steady even though the hot days and warm nights continued, which allowed us to bring in fruit at optimum ripeness. At this early stage, white yields being down on expectations but quality is good with Riesling and Marsanne being the standouts. The reds appear to have fared better yield wise, and have bright fresh fruit, depth of flavour, with rich, full palates. It looks like being a very good year for the reds.

Dalfarras Rosato Sangiovese Rose 750mL. The Sangiovese grapes used to produce this stunning Dalfarras Rosato were picked, fermented and then treated with special yeasts. This led to the creation of a beautiful pink colour accompanied by subtle hues. The perfumed nose exudes enticing aromas of strawberries, with pretty floral scents following close behind. The delicate palate packs light berry and spice flavours, culminating in a clean and dry finale. This refreshing Rosato can be consumed now or after a cellaring term of 4 years. It can be served as an aperitif on its own or with fresh prawns and oysters.

Enticing strawberry and pretty floral notes on the nose followed by light berry and spice with a clean, dry finish on the palate.

Dalfarras Rosato is refreshing on its own but an ideal match with fresh prawns or oysters.
