Ros Ritchie, Mansfield, Victoria
After graduating from Roseworthy at the end of 1981, Ros returned home to Victoria to help establish and set up the Delatite winery. She was the winemaker for Delatite for the next 25 years, producing and growing the range of wines; these included the classic aromatics, methode champenoise sparkling, as well as red varietals and blends.
Many of these wines gained consistent critical acclaim both nationally and internationally, with 13 trophies, 39 Gold, 67 Silver and over 210 Bronze medals.
Over the years she took several opportunities to travel within France, Germany and Italy several times, but especially to Alsace, Baden, the Mosel, Rheingau and Pfalz, whose wines strengthened her passion for riesling and gewürztraminer and stimulated her interest in pinot gris...

Tasting Notes
Made from an assembly of the three best known aromatic varieties, this wine tips its hat to Alsace. The colour is a bright, clear pale straw with some silvery tints, while the aromas of this complex blend are of pear, lychee, mandarin and ripe grapefruit, lime blossom, rose and spice, with a touch of lemon balm lifting it out of the plain. Made dry, the palate is rich and silky, the ripeness of the fruit and florals are carried with soft acidity which underlies the generous mouthfeel. Production: 105 cases
