2023 Singlefile Great Southern Rosé

VINEYARD & WINEMAKING

This is a more serious, dry, Provence styled rosé produced from the Mediterranean varietal sangiovese. We have found the Mediterranean varietals to be well suited to this style of rosé where balancing fruit flavour, savouriness, natural acidity and colour are all important factors to producing premium rosé.

The grapes were picked on 19 April 2023. They were gently destemmed and crushed directly into the press with approximately two hours of skin contact occurring prior to a gentle press. The free run juice was handled oxidatively and remained on full solids for three days before rough racking and the introduction of an indigenous yeast to initiate fermentation. Following a slow and cool fermentation, the wine was rested on its lees in stainless steel tank for three months prior to preparation for bottling.

THE WINE

Pale salmon pink in colour, this is a contemporary Provence styled dry rosé. It has nuanced and delicate flavours of cranberry, orange skin and spices. It is a refreshing style with a long flavour and subtle textural mouthfeel with cherry, clove and burnt orange elements and a persistent, textural and dry finish. A perfect drink for the Australian summer.

This wine just looks delicious.... stunning packaging makes you want to open it immediately. The palest of pink in colour. Perfumed with strawberries before a delicate but long savoury finish. So moorish!!

Pale pink in the glass. Strawberry with vegetal notes. Dry, mildly acid finish as a French Rosé. This wine is a savoury delight.

Very easy to drink on a warm Perth afternoon.

Straw/rose colour, opens with a nose of spring flowers and turkish delight then a well balanced mouth feel, completes with a distinct rose hip and apricot finish. Lovely style for an Aussie Rose.

An attractive and compelling crisp rose petal salmon colour with a striking full flavour of Seville orange, hints of ripe tamarillo with a beguiling , lingering exotic allspice aftertaste. A remarkably luscious and modern style rose that utilises the best of the sangiovese style.

Having spent time in Provence drinking rose I struggled to find anything produced in Australia that even came close and then this rose by singlefile. As good as anything I’ve had and having introduced it to all our friends I’ve knocked off the first dozen and devastated to see it’s now sold out. Can’t wait for the next brew to drop.

We had found the best French Rose we'd tasted, in all places Cambodia. We were disappointed when we returned home to find it not available in Australia. Until now I just haven't found a Rose that not only compare, but total exceeds our expectations. Thank you Singlefile, with just a hint of colour, subtle yet has a full long flavour that lingers. I now have my summer and Christmas drinking locked in.

Your 2023 Rosé is just superb! The 2022 was a cracker, so I bought a case of 2023 untasted, and it hasn’t disappointed. Its beautiful delicate hue is matched by its delicate flavours; as dry and delicious as a Rosé can be!
