Country: Australia / Saignée
Variety: Rosé South Australia
Winery: Torbreck / Barossa Valley
Although not indicated on the label, this is 100% Mourvèdre, bone dry and barrel fermented. As a result, it’s not your typical fresh and fruity rosé, showing instead dark, complex flavors of cola, chocolate tree bark and earth. Hints of strawberry lighten it somewhat, but this is almost more red than rosé. Drink now–2008.
