A complex rosé with plenty to offer the discerning drinker! Delicate notes of rose petal, fennel and strawberries on the nose. The palate is medium weight with exquisite texture and subtle tannins from barrel fermentation. The finish is soft and long with lingering acid drive. Delicious!

Solum Wines is a new star in the firmament, headed by Ryan Horaczko. Coming from time working at Principia with Darrin Gaffy on the Mornington Peninsula. Ryan was exposed to that region's premier Pinot Noir & Chardonnay fruit, and the chance to craft wines from it. He freely admits that the first vintage releases of Solum wouldn’t have been possible without Darrin's mentorship and tutelage. 2021 was the first harvest, albeit in the Pyrenees, from fruit grown by Quartz Hill. Organically managed, this thinking carries across the whole range now. Sustainability is at the core of all the choices made in the vineyard. The decisions Ryan makes in the vineyard are vital to enhance the quality of the wines once the fruit is off the vine and in the winery. Everything is handpicked and made without added yeast or tannin. These are fresh, supple wines, with plenty to recommend, and will only improve over time. We look forward to seeing what Ryan does next!
