Bird in Hand Rosé 2021

The grapes for the 2021 Pinot Rosé come from premium, carefully selected sites in the Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu Peninsula and Limestone Coast. Predominantly Pinot Noir, with a small amount of Pinot Gris included also in the blend. This wine is a vibrant, pale pink with lifted and fresh wild strawberry, raspberry, red apple and musk aromas. Lively, flavoursome and juicy fruit weight on the mid-palate with a refreshing, slightly chalky acidity on the finish.

Vineyards sourced from were pruned by a mix of cane and spur pruning, with shoots vertically positioned. Grapes were harvested between the 4th of February and the 30th of March. Harvested in the coolest part of the evening.

Fruit was destemmed and then held cold in a sealed press for between 2 - 4 hours to extract colour and flavour from the skins. Free run portion only used. Cold settled and then racked taking clear juice.

Wine was blended early with minimal lees contact time to maintain freshness then fined, stabilised, filtered and bottled young and fresh.
