Only 56 cases allocated to NZ of this legendary Australian Rosé. A Double State Champion, it tastes as fresh and scintillating as its pure, translucent, subtle pink colour. Turkey Flat is in Tanunda, in the middle of South Australia's Barossa Valley wine-growing region. Described by wine expert Oz Clarke as one of the "cult wines" of Australia. Some of their Shiraz vines were planted in 1847… the Schulz family taking it over in 1860, now the 4th generation are custodians of this legendary old bush vine vineyard planted in Rhone grape varieties. 1847 is the same year Johann Gramp of Gramp's Orlando (now Jacob's Creek) and Joseph Gilbert of Pewsey Vale planted their first vines. Hill of Grace was planted a year later. Just to put it in perspective, they have some seriously old bush vines and 163-years of winemaking on their land, no wonder their wines are so special and why Oz Clarke loves them. Their Rosé is made from grenache grapes, in an aromatic, fruity, creamily textured, fresh, and dry style. South Australia meets Provence.

Sun baked strawberries, floral perfumed notes of rose petals with cinnamon and whole nutmeg aromas.

Generous rounded fruit traverses the palate and typical of Grenache, it has gentle acidity. This luscious Rosé is layered with fresh strawberries, raspberries, candyfloss, and sherbet… set in a creamy texture and culminating in a warm, fresh, dry, and lengthy finish. Drink with sun ripened strawberries and cheese… fresh summer salads and enjoy a glass or two late afternoon.
