Heifer Station vineyard is situated between 860-900m elevation on the undulating slopes of Mt Canobolas. Shiraz and Merlot for our dry rose were planted in 1999 on a high, easterly aspect.

Tasting Note:

Wild fermented in stainless steel and old French barriques.  Wild malolactic fermentation on fermentation lees.  Stirred on lees to build savory complexity and texture

Tasting: Fresh strawberry, grapefruit, peaches and cream on the nose.  Palate is generous with an abundance of fresh berry fruits and creamy texture on the finish.  Dry and savory style rose with texture and depth
