Description

This is a classic dry and savoury stye of Rose made from organic Sangiovese grapes grown in McLaren Vale.

Sangiovese is such a great variety for Rosé. The natural structure and savouriness of the variety lends some great architecture to a pink wine. This version, from winemaking team of Walter Clappis and Kimberly and James Cooter, shows clean lines of fresh acidity, moreish red fruits and plenty of spice through the finish.

It's an easy-sipping wine, spotless and delicious, and a straight-up bargain. What's not to like?

    Dry but elegant Rose

    Crisp, refreshing, and food-friendly, it’s a great-value, sophisticated choice for warm-weather sipping.

    A good Rose

    While not quite as dry, as I really love, the Hedonist Sangiovese Rose is very drinkable and a good value wine. Certainly have enjoyed drinking this one.

COLOUR
Pale salmon with pink hues

BOUQUET
The wine reveals a delightful array of aromas, ripe strawberries and cream, delicate notes of rose petals gently unfolding, all complemented by a subtle hint of violet.

PALATE
Dry, crisp and elegantly crafted, this wine offers delightful nuances that go beyond its initial bouquet. The palate unfolds with deeper, savory complexities. Its refined texture contributes to a rich, glossy mouthfeel. This interplay of textures and flavours enhances the overall balance and depth.

Sourced from three sites, including two Sangiovese vineyards situated in the Seaview district of McLaren Vale—'Beautiful View'—and estate-grown young Grenache vines from the Willunga foothills. Certified organic.

The lead up to the 2024 vintage progressed with distinct weather changes and challenges. The growing season began with dry spells and cool nights contrasted by warm days. Spring brought strong winds during flowering, impacting crop levels. Significant summer rains arrived in December and January, leading to a notably dry vintage. A heatwave in March, with four consecutive days above 37 degrees Celsius, added further intensity to the season. Despite these trials, the lighter crop ultimately allowed us to carefully manage our fruit intake, proving to be a blessing in disguise.

The three parcels were crushed individually on skins for 3 to 9 hours. After gentle pressing to extract optimum flavour and the perfect salmon pink hue, instead of our usual method of keeping pressings separate and blending them later, this year we opted for an even gentler pressing without making a pressing cut. Each parcel underwent slow, cool fermentation. Once fermentation was complete to dryness, it was racked and filtered before bottling.
