This is one of those special instances of a winemaker making a Rosé from the ground up, rather than blending it from left over bits and pieces. A-grade Montepulciano was wild fermented and blended with about 10% A-grade, barrel fermented Grenache. The result is a Rosé you can drink now but benefits from decanting and will likely improve for a few more years yet. The barrel finished Grenache brings creaminess and a hint of fairy floss, the Monte bring raspberries, red currants, olive brine acidity, blossoms and spice. Complex, tight yet textural, food friendly and beguiling.
Tom White’s Curator Winery produces tiny quantities of exceptional, small batch wines. The vineyard at Marananga is planted on ancient red soils rich in ironstone and quartzite, and the wines are naturally fermented. They also source from young and old vine plantings in Greenock, Stonewell, Vine Vale and the Eden Valley.
Can't have party food without something to drink - can we?? Good party food is definitely bubbles but bubbles is such a cop-out. Let's make it a little more interesting and go with a deliciously juicy Riesling.
Classy number from some blokes called George Calombaris & Gary Mehigan - you've probably never heard of them.
