Tread Softly South Australia Rosé 2024 (Australia)

Description

Off-dry, Spice, Strawberry

"Light and elegant, the wine shows ripe strawberry, apricot, red apple and floral notes on the nose, followed by a finely expressed palate delivering youthful fruit flavours with a lingering crisp finish. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2024

Wonderfully pale pink with lifted aromas strawberries and vanilla as well as subtle spice. Vibrant palate of red fruits, with lifted citrus and floral notes.

Tread Softly is a contemporary range of wines seeking to deliver delicious, intensely flavoured wines that are naturally medium weighted and moderate in alcohol. By using more sustainable vineyard management and wine-making techniques to ensure their production has had a minimal impact to the environment. Tread Softly is committed to reducing their carbon footprint and so commits to planting an Australian Native Tree for 6 bottles sold.

A cooler than average growing season, frost, the lack of rain and poor weather
during flowering including strong winds throughout November and December resulted in lower yields however, the dry and consistent weather during picking resulted in a vintage of high-quality fruit.

Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months in tank on solids prior to bottling and an early release.

Food Pairing: Fresh and flavoursome with a creamy texture this will be perfect with a variety of dishes especially a seafood barbecue.
