Is it a rosé? Is it a light red? We don't know, and we don't really care. It's bloody delicious. "54% Garnacha blanca - Yangarra Estate Vineyard (Kangarilla, McLaren Vale); 46% Garnacha tinta - Vinya Vella (Vine Vale, Barossa Valley). Grenache intercourse. The coming together of grenache noir and its mutant white variant to produce a rosado style spring wine. Harvested on consecutive days in late March. Both parcels were fermented together on skins for 2 weeks. 5% whole bunches were included for a bit of spice and grip. Blood orange, fresh raspberry, Campari & pink peppercorn. It’s super chalky and bone dry. A delicious experiment gone right." - Riley
