{"product_id":"2025-garagiste-merricks-rose","title":"2025 Garagiste Merricks Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eMerricks is always the anchor for what Barney Flanders does down on the Mornington Peninsula, a cooler, more wind-swept corner that gives his wines a proper, structural backbone. With this 2025 Pinot Rose release, he has taken the 'rosato' brief and given it some serious attitude - grown on those classic red volcanic soils, treated with the same respect and patience he gives his premium reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe season was a quick, dry run that required smart picking decisions to keep the freshness alive. Barney keeps things simple in the shed: wild fermentation, a bit of old wood, and plenty of time on lees to build up texture. This is not some simple, safe pink wine designed to be downed without thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pours a pale, bright copper colour. It dumps the usual sweet strawberries and cream Pinot rose style, delivering a dry, savoury crunch full of red currants, sour cherry skin, and a distinct, wild-herb bitterness. There is a great, waxy texture that fills the mouth before a fine line of native acidity cleans up the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seriously classy Rose!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garagiste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44204069552171,"sku":"2025 Garagiste Merricks Rose","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2025GaragisteMerricksRose.png?v=1782276193","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-garagiste-merricks-rose","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
