2024 Torbreck Woodcutter’s Rose

A gorgeously rounded Rose with tangy acidity and a finish that’s dry, savoury and spicy.

Made using the Saignee method from Mataro grapes with 30% of the wine undergoing barrel fermentation and aging in seasoned French oak hogsheads for 3 months.
Translucent salmon colour. Spicy peach and blood orange aromas mix with hints of pomegranate and wet stone. Gorgeously round and supple in the mouth, delicious peach, raspberry, pomegranate and blood orange fruits overlay a delicate Turkish delight and wet stone back drop. Excellent intensity and tangy acidity finishing dry, savoury and spicy.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews....
The 2024 Woodcutter's Rosé is 100% Mataro (Mourvèdre, for those not in Australia or Portugal), and the wine conveys earthy richness and density endemic to the variety. This is ripe and full, with flowers and red fruit on the nose and an array of brick dust, sandalwood, hung deli meat and crushed rocks through the finish. The wine was matured in a combination of stainless steel (70%) and old oak for three months. Strawberry, mulberry and blood plum complete the fruit profile. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2025-2029.
