Killibinbin Sweet Lips South Australia Rosé 2023 (Australia)

Description

Dry, Floral, Strawberry

Rosé boasts a mesmerizing deep rose pink color with alluring hues of red that shimmer in the glass, creating an enticing and visually captivating experience. The nose reveals a tantalizing mix of freshly picked strawberries and ripe raspberries, filling the air with the essence of summer's bounty. Intertwined with the vibrant fruit aromas is an enchanting floral bouquet, where delicate notes of rose petals and hints of violets add an alluring touch of elegance. Explosion of fresh strawberries at the forefront, accompanied by a medley of ripe berries that add layers of complexity and depth to each sip. The luscious sweetness of the fruits caresses the taste buds, enveloping them in a delightful fruity embrace. Crisp and well-managed acidity emerges, offering a refreshing and invigorating twist that provides a perfect counterpoint to the initial sweetness. The play between sweetness and acidity on the back palate creates a harmonious and dynamic drinking experience, leaving the mouth with a sense of satisfaction and a desire for more.

Take one form and turn it into something greater, something that mesmeries with passionate purpose. The shining Killibinbin is hypnotic and alluring... Thrilling.

The 2023 vintage started with quite a dry July. However, under the influence of La Niña, we experienced above average rainfall from mid-late winter and spring. Spring was cool and windy leading leaving some uneven flowering and therefore some lower than average yields. The ripening period was cool leading to a later than normal harvest. While sugar levels remained fairly low, flavours were good and there was no evidence of green-ness. Overall, wines from the 2023 vintage will be lower in alcohol than normal but with great flavour and depth. I believe they will be long lived due to the retention of natural acidity.

Food Pairing: Its ability to pair well with spicy Asian dishes makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a wine to balance and enhance the vibrant flavors of various cuisines.
