Vanguardist Rose 2024

“From the Rende vineyard, the heartbeat of the Vanguardist wines, in Blewitt Springs. Michael Corbett takes all his wines very seriously, and that’s no different for rosé, with his estimate predicating a decade’s cellar life. It’s certainly got the flavour depth, texture and a smartly pithy draw of grip to support the notion. An assertive orangey peach in the glass, with blood orange, tangerine, tamarind, faint red berries, white cherry, dried peach, orange blossom, cinnamon and fennel seed. None of that shouts, is overt, with the typical house savouriness at play, but there’s a density of matter, an import that leads it to gastronomic applications. It’s very good.” 96 points – Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

Single site Grenache and Syrah from Rende Vineyard, Blewitt Springs. Blood Orange, Fennel, Pink Grapefruit, Redcurrant, mineral acidity balanced with a touch of fine tannin. Prettiness and purity captured from time in stainless steel tank, with roundness and mouthfeel from concrete sphere, lees contact and 100% malo. Winemaker’s Notes
