The 2021 Marchand & Burch Rosé is made from premium grapes from the Great Southern, Margaret River and the Swan Valley. It reflects a contemporary style while taking cues from an admired tradition of dry, delectable, divine Rosé wines from the Southern French region of Provence.
TASTING NOTES
A perfect illustration of why Pinot Noir and Grenache are such fabulous varieties for rosé production. In the glass, it has a gorgeous blush of pink that points to the pure pleasure to come. The nose is immediately alluring with notes of rose petal, marshmallow, potpourri, orange zest, and pomegranate. The palate conveys flavours of exotic fruit such as watermelon and lychee with a hint of white strawberry. This is a light and refreshing wine yet it has an intensity of flavour that begins with the floral nose and carries through the fruit filled palate, ending in a pleasant dry finish full of summer red berries.

WINE MAKING
Made from a gentle and short extraction to obtain only the lightest tinges of pinks from the red grape skins. After extraction, the wine is largely made in the same way as white wine. The juice ferments naturally in older French oak and the lees are stirred weekly from later in the fermentation until dry. During the short oak maturation, partial malolactic occurs. The wine was minimally fined and filtered prior to bottling.
