2019 P-Series by Patrick Rosé
" A style that I like to drink, being dry in sugar but having enough fruit sweetness and weight to be interesting and refreshing. The grapes were picked, crushed and left on skins for 8 hours to enhance the floral aromas and berry fruit flavour, whilst releasing some of the vibrant colour." - Luke Tocaciu - Winemaker

" In the early days of the business our Estate and Toccas Rosé's had a cult following and were enjoyed by many. I have evolved the style since those early wines and crafted this dry, delicate Rosé to compliment any light lunch on a warm Summer day. It’s a style that I like to drink, being dry in sugar but having enough fruit sweetness and weight to be interesting and refreshing. The grapes were picked, crushed and left on skins for 8 hours to enhance the floral aromas and berry fruit flavour, whilst releasing some of the vibrant colour. The season has a fantastic start, with generous Winter rainfall regenerating the aquifer and ensuring adequate subsoil moisture coming into Spring. We saw great canopy growth and healthy bunch numbers, but the cooler November weather delayed flowering and caused yields to be slightly below the long term average. The rainfall continued to be on-average throughout Spring which was unlike the majority of the State that suffered from the dry conditions. Overall, we had a fantastic season with the dry, but cooler weather allowing picking decisions to be made perfectly and slow flavour development adding to the complexity of the wines.
