HIGH NOON ROSE

This is a dry, soft, full bodied rosé. It is bottled early to retain freshness and we encourage you to serve this wine cool but not tongue-numbingly cold (which dulls the flavour) 10 – 13°C is ideal. This wine is produced as naturally as possible and so it may develop some crystals in the bottle with prolonged refrigeration. We generally recommend consuming the High Noon Rosé whilst young, within a year or two of the vintage, when it is full of fresh fruit aromas and flavours. Food matching suggestions A very versatile wine which works well with a wide variety of foods, from more delicate seafood dishes, to those with some chilli heat and almost any dish of Mediterranean origin. Try with sushi rolls, garlic prawns, roasted quail, chargrilled tuna or Paella. Think Japanese, Thai, Spanish or lunchtime in Provence. Varietal composition 100% Grenache (or sometimes including a little Graciano) Winemaking The grapes are picked in the cool of the morning and crushed into an open vat. After one night in contact with the skins the rosé juice is pressed off, followed by a cool fermentation and maturation for 6 months in our special large old oak cask (foudre) reserved for this purpose. The Vineyard Grapes for this wine come from old Grenache bush vines growing on the Winery and BJ’s blocks which were planted in 1934 and 1943. Average yields from these vines are 1.5 to 2 tons per acre (depending on adequate winter rain). They are growing in sandy loam over clay and due to their age have a deep root system which helps to produce the intensely flavoured grapes for this soft, full bodied rosé. Average Production 300 dozen (domestic sales only)

Vintages Produced: 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 , 2012, 2011, 2010 (Dark Noon Rosé), 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and earlier vintages produced by my father starting in 1982 _______________________ 2023 High Noon Rosé Produced from 91% Grenache and 9% Mataro, all estate grown and hand picked. This year's label features a perfect looking peach, drawn with pastels by Rae. The wine is a lovely salmon pink colour, with a bronze hue. It tastes fresh and delicious, with a little more body this vintage and really good depth of flavour, finishing dry and long. Perfect with an al fresco lunch over the warmer months and flavoursome enough to accompany a roast chicken or more substantial evening meal. 2022 High Noon Rosé Produced from 85% Grenache, 11% Mataro and 4% Graciano from our McLaren Vale vineyard. With an eye-catching salmon pink colour (a little deeper than usual) and a lovely new label featuring sushi and chopsticks, this looks great on the table. There's fresh fruit in abundance and a beautiful soft texture, along with an impressive depth of flavour. Dry and full bodied, this is a red wine drinker's rosé. 2021 High Noon Rosé This Rosé displays a lovely salmon pink colour which looks very inviting. Produced entirely from Grenache from the Winery Block it is full bodied, round and soft. A very successful wine this year. Delicious for drinking over the warmer months and suited to a wide variety of food. Rae’s label ‘Autumn in the Grenache Vines’ features a photo of the old vines growing around the cellars which produced the Rosé. 2020 High Noon Rosé Produced from 85% Grenache with 15% Graciano, the grapes all grown on our estate at McLaren Vale. 2020 has produced a lovely rosé with a pale orange/pink colour and soft, fresh, full flavoured palate. This is a dry, full bodied rosé which is very refreshing with a wide range of food. Rae's painting this year is called 'Water Lilies" and looks great on the bottle. Any Rosé produced before 2020 is now fully mature but should still be very enjoyable! Rosé serving temperature: It is important to serve this wine at the right temperature for maximum enjoyment. We recommend 10-13 degrees. Colder than 10 the flavours are dulled; warmer than 13 the wine can appear flabby and not as refreshing. This can take a little practice to get right. Your house fridge, at around 4 degrees, is too cold but if the house is warm this might be a good thing, giving a buffer for the wine to absorb some heat on pouring. Your cellar is likely too warm unless you have an underground or controlled climate room, in which case it may be close to right. We use a small 'wine cabinet' set at 13 degrees to keep all of our wines for current drinking. This works very well for the Rosé and is a little too cold for the reds but we find it is quick and easy to bring them up to temperature.
