Ada Wine Co. Babs Rose 2023

Made from 100% Shiraz, a lovely savoury rose that is light on its feet. Racy acidity balanced by a little weight. Serve slightly chilled, not dead cold to enjoy the full expression of the fruit. 

A note from the winemaker:

Fruit from Gemtree vineyards in McLaren Flat, McLaren Vale. The vineyard is fully certified biodynamic and lies at the base of the foothills that separate McLaren Vale from the Adelaide Hills. Vines are 30 years old and have a west facing aspect that looks back onto the ocean.

Winemaking: Whole Bunch pressed to stainless steel and transferred to older French oak barrels toward the end of alcoholic fermentation. Barrels were lees stirred regularly to build texture into the wine. Barrels were topped regularly and allowed to rest for 6 months prior to bottling.
