"Julian Langworthy is a master Rose maker! The 2023 vintage sees Sangiovese and Tempranillo blending perfectly together. This delicious drop is light and crunchy with notes of pomegranate, orange zest and a hint of spice from the Tempranillo. An absolute joy to drink!" - Wine House
"2023, a vintage of epicness. It was goldilocks personified and you all know what goldilocks liked, she liked things just right. It was cool, yet sunny, had great spring rain but lovely long largely dry growing season. As such I would be amiss if the wine didn’t mirror this amazing season but fortunately it does. Light, fine and expressive but with phenolic crunch and freshness which is just right, 93% Sangiovese is the hero of this wine backed up with 7%-barrel fermented Tempranillo. This wine is fine, ethereally light and delicious.
The fruit comes from the sub-region of Carbunup in Margaret River, with the sites being relatively flat and warm, with fertile, red sandy soils. The Sangiovese fruit was simply destemmed, and fermented at moderate temperatures, using, as always, indigenous yeasts only. It was then matured on gross lees for three months post-fermentation to add additional texture. The Tempranillo was hand-picked and, after chilling, the fruit was whole bunch-pressed directly to old oak puncheons for fermentation.
The texture and acid structure are impeccable but it’s all about extreme drinkability. As always, it’s a pale salmon dream." – Julian Langworthy, Nocturne
