Philip Shaw ‘Pink Billy’ Rose 2021 Orange – 6 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION: The wine is a saignee implying a partial bleed of juice from the fruit. After the wine has been bled it is managed oxidatively to stabilize colour and drop out any unstable phenolics/tannins. The juice is racked off heavy solids, with 15% going to older oak for fermentation. Primary ferment is carried out by wild yeast from the vineyard which allows for more complex fermentation characters. Following primary ferment the wine is left to mature on yeast lees until bottling with regular mixing to increase texture and body. TASTING NOTES: Pink Billy is pale pink salmon indicating a more delicate style rose. Bright and fresh; a particularly complex dry rose with tantalizing ripe berry driving both palate and bouquet. A somewhat textured palate and savoury finish make this the perfect wine for sharing with friends accompanied with grilled Barramundi and fennel salad.
