Old Jarvie was the nickname of the First Earl of St. Vincent – Admiral John Jervis – whose zest for discovery provides inspiration for vintner Matthew Flinders and his time. There's something quite exploratory about these wines, too. What a wine! A blend of Carignan, Muscat Rouge, Nero d'Avola and Grenache. Made from fruit picked at two different times, one for acidity, freshness and zing, the other for the fullness of flavour and texture. The wine really glows in the glass, and has real presence. A mixture of strawberry, musk and grapefruit inform the nose, and the palate follows up with red apple skin and really sharp acidity.

Origin: The spiritual home of rosé is Provence, in Southern France. Mainly Grown In: Rosé is found all over the world these days, but coastal regions are especially well suited to the growing of red grapes for rosé. Key Facts: Rosé is predominantly made from red grape varieties. The colour in wine is actually from pigments found in the skins of the grapes, so even red grapes have clear-coloured juice. The colour is then ‘bled’ out of the skins by infusing the skins into the juice. So for rosé, the wine simply spends far less time hanging out with the skins! Rarely you will find a rosé that is a combo of white and red grapes – they’re not ‘less good’, just less common. Rosé is super versatile – it suits any occasion. Best to always have a bottle in the fridge, just in case, you know…. April happens or something. Fun Fact: Despite it's pink hue, rosé is a great way to appreciate some of the things we love most about the red grape types that make it. For example, Pinot Noir as a red or rosé usually has a lot of strawberry character, where as Shiraz red and rosé shows red plum and pepper in its pink glass!
