2023 Hills & Coast McLaren Vale Rose

The Hills and Coast have a significant influence on the grapes grown on the Lloyd Brothers vineyards in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. The McLaren Vale estate is moderated by cool ocean breezes from the coast that borders the region to the west and is also influenced by the gully breezes from the bordering Adelaide Hills to the East. This Rosé is produced from handpicked Grenache (70%) and Shiraz (30%) grown on the Lloyd Brothers historic McLaren Vale estate, which is located just 6km from the coast, creating a unique and distinctive microclimate.

Elegant and finely expressed, the bouquet shows sweet strawberry, nectarine and red apple notes, followed by a delicately textured palate offering fine flow and juicy acidity. Refreshing and immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2025.
