Barossa Valley Frugal Farmer

Alicante Bouschet, Grenache, Mataro. In the context of traditional winemaking practices in the Barossa region, the Alicante Bouchet Rosé stands as a unique embodiment of frugality and resourcefulness. By repurposing leftover Alicante skins to co-ferment with Grenache and Mataro, the winemakers infuse the resultant wine with tannins, spice, and an appealing hue. Rooted in the warm Mediterranean climate of the Barossa, this approach reflects a preference for manual, traditional techniques that yield wines characterized by richness, softness, and longevity, reminiscent of the vintages enjoyed in the winemaker's earlier years. ABV 12.4%
