Details
This is rosé made with thought. Handpicked from biodynamic grapes, matured in older barrels for a year, and generally treated with slow care. The result is a soft, coppery red-coloured, wonderfully gentle rosé of pastel fruits, citrus and this slow-rising strawberry flavour. Dry, refreshing, and uplifting, it's a really delightful, life-affirming wine.
Winemaker, Erinn Klein and co-founder, Janet Klein took over their very own patch of the world-renowned Jurlique herb farm and started putting into practice all they had learnt studying all things wine at Adelaide University. The pair met there in 2000 while Erinn was studying oenology and Janet viticulture and winemaking. Let's just say, it was a match made in winem heaven because several decades later they are pioneers in small-batch biodynamic winemaking. More than just eschewing chemicals and embracing the biodynamic farming model at their property near the Mt Barker Summit in the Adelaide Hills, Erinn and Janet are committed to the restoration and regeneration of the land's original flora and fauna. So far they have planted (or perhaps more accurately, replanted) thousands of native seedlings across their property!

Pairing guide
Made from beautifully ripened whole bunches of Syrah grapes, this elegant yet vibrant rosé quickly became a firm favourite here at GPD HQ. We know you’ll adore its various charms, not least when paired with some delicious and inventive home cooked food. It’s a great match for couscous salads, grilled eggplant with pomegranate, pork ribs and crispy Asian beef, and we also loved it with homemade versions of takeaway classics like beef in oyster sauce, crispy noodles and margarita pizza. Grilled sausages, chicken thighs with a peri-peri rub, poached salmon and seared tuna steak will also deliver fabulous results.

Wine region

Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills wine region, located in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges
of South Australia is characterised by its high altitude, cool climate, and diverse soils, which all contribute to the unique terroir that produces elegant, complex, and expressive wines. The region's altitude ranges from 400 to 700 meters above sea level, creating a cooler climate than other wine regions in South Australia. The cool temperatures slow down the ripening process of the grapes, resulting in wines with high acidity, delicate aromatics, and elegant flavours. Top sub-regions are Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley, and Basket Range, each with unique microclimates and diverse soil types that produce singular wine styles, the highlights are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and a whole lot more!
