2021 Dilworth & Allain 'the Glut Farm' Rose - Mount Cole, WESTERN VIC, 750ml
The Glut Farm sits on the eastern side of Mt Cole near Beaufort in Western Victoria. It was established by Sally and Larry Watson in 2016. Sally and Larry are passionate farmers and gardeners. With some of our help in the spring of 2017 we planted 500 Grenache vines. The vineyard sits on a north facing slope. The soil is white granite and free draining. The farm has always been managed organically.
The glut farm rosé has captured the freshness of this cooler climate site along with the beautiful aromatics and seduction that Grenache can offer.
The grapes were handpicked on the 95h of May. Once back at the winery, we destemmed and soaked the grapes on skins for 24 hours. Then pressed to tank the following day. Fermentation was in tank and the wine stayed on lees maturing until January. After this it was Racked off lees and bottled in February 2023. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no other additives, other than a small amount of Sulphur Dioxide before bottling.
