Dylan Grigg is a viticulturalist working in some of the best Barossa vineyards and beyond, but he has his own patch of dirt producing two wines - this Rosé and a Grenache. To be brief, this is a bloody good Rosé.
Made predominantly with Grenache and a splash of Mataro tossed in for good measure, this is a step up from the 2023 release.
It sees 36 hours skin contact and a rose gold appearance is the result. Orange peel and some negroni like things reach forward on an inviting introduction. Bone dry with an attractive creaminess that lies low, there is a red apple crunch following the white strawberry, white cherry and red currant fruit. The textural drive has a gravitational pull calling me back time and again and, to be honest, it is hard to resist the call. A supple and persistent finish caps of a cracking drinking. Find this and you'll be better for it.
