DEUX REBELLES ROSÉ 2022 – 1 DOZEN

Tash Stoodley — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 05:18:50 +0000

With a solid back-bone of single vineyard Mount Barker Shiraz, we use mulitple fermentation techniques (steel, old oak; large and small) and three separate co-ferments with Frankland River Gerwurstraminer, Viognier and Riesling (skins only) - it's rose, but not as you know it! This dry rose presents pale pink in the glass with a light lees suspension that allows a truly exotic range of botanicals and aromatics that excite the senses. The combination of alternative fermentations techniques gives the palate delicacy, weight, texture and length that simply one sip can't justify. Pomegranate, watermelon and scorched mandarin notes flow effortlessly, while clean and crisp acidity refreshes. Deux Rebelles (two rebelles) not only describes this unique rose, but encapsulates Trudy and Nick's journey in creating Break Free Wines, always brreaking traditional styles with highly aromatic and strangely curious wines that always entice! Like all Break Free wines, there is no filtration or fining and mimimal sulphur on bottling to keep the wine fresh and lively. Pair with vinyl records, cool beats and keep the party going!

MOURVÈDRE ROSÉ 2022 – 1 DOZEN

Tash Stoodley — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 05:15:56 +0000

This 2022, the third vintage of Clandestine Vineyards Rose follows a style of European, dry textural roses, rather than the plethora of juicy, off dry styles now all too common in Australia. A new single vineyard location in heart of McLaren Vale has been selected for it's warmer, maritime micro-climate and soils ideally suited to Mourvedre; the vineyard was planted in 2013 from cuttings of the original d'Arenberg clone. Harvested early for rose production, the colour of the final wine is due to the limited skin contact with the juice - in this case, in the picking bins only - no further maceration is required. The grapes are destemmed, crushed, cold pressed and the resulting bright pink juice is then stabilised in steel before being racked into older French oak barriques for 100% barrel fermentation; but not malolactic. When fermented to dry (bone dry) a very light surphuring ensues followed by a gentle fining - the resulting wine is a glorious light salmon colour with bright flouscents, a lifted perfume of exotic herbs, spice and mixed cherry - ripe, sour and maraschino. Subtle oak tones give mouthfeel and texture, crisp acidty frames and refreshes the palate with length inviting another sip! Pair with all manner of cuisines, particularly those that carry spice and heat; Asian flavours are favored - think Thai, Vietnamese or indeed Indian currys. Vegan too! (the wine, that is!)

PROSECCO ROSÉ 2023 – 1 DOZEN

Tash Stoodley — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 05:12:33 +0000

Our Prosecco Rosé is sourced from the Cavedon Vineyard, King Valley, Victoria - grafted to Glera in 2006 from original rootstock planted in the 1970s. With a north-facing block (elevation 400m) and rich iron red clay soil, Cavedon has achieved the sustainable certificate for their vineyards from 2023, demonstrating their commitment to quality fruit without harmful pesticides and herbicides. The Glera is harvested and the cold-pressed free-run juice is clarified in stainless steel and then infused with Barbera skins for a long and controlled fermentation to dry (8.0g/L RS) with no malo or lees stirring. Tank carbonation follows for light fizz and immediately bottled and crown capped with minimal sulphites. A beautiful, pale pink blush in colour, this sparkling aperitif is light and refreshing with a lively, wild berry lush palate with zippy acidity; perfect with smoked or tartare salmon, charcuterie boards and the all day breakfast! Winemaker: Andrew Vesey, consultant. Vegan.

PROSECCO ROSÉ 2023

Trudy A Stacy — Thu, 26 May 2022 07:18:42 +0000

The second vintage of our unique Prosecco style – with a slight blush of Barbera skins – is sourced from a certified sustainable single vineyard in the King Valley; the home for Australian Prosecco. Ours is made into a more aperitif style; drier, but with a cascade or mixed berry fruits, light yet full-flavored palate with a consistent bead of racy bubbles – this is the perfect way to start (or finish) your next Sunday brunch!
