She is a creative soul who brings her passion for the natural landscape into her works and a vibrant energy to the Dalfarras labels. Alister Purbrick is the 4th generation of the Purbrick family at Tahbilk and adds his wine-making touch to the Italian and Spanish inspired wines. Their daughter Hayley, who is passionate about the environment is making sure the wines are modern yet environmentally friendly carbon neutral wines.
VITICULTURE / WINEMAKING
The Sangiovese is planted on the northern edge of the Pogue 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.
DESCRIPTION
Enticing strawberry and pretty floral notes on the nose followed by light berry and spice with a clean, dry finish on the palate.
FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS
Dalfarras Rosato is refreshing on its own but an ideal match with fresh prawns or oysters.
