2007 Head Over Heels Rose
A lifetime of dedication to our passion for winemaking and viticulture and it finally dawned on us that we really love what we make.
We are Head over Heels over this Big Rivers Rose. This blend of Sangiovese and Barbera is vibrant ruby in colour with aromas of crushed strawberries and cranberries. The crisp flavours of watermelon and strawberries are perfectly balanced by crisp crunchy plum and lively acidity on the finish.
VINTAGE 2007
VARIETY Sangiovese 56%, Barbera, 34%, Cabernet Sauv 6%, Traminer 4%

WINEMAKER James Ceccato
VINTAGE Viticulturalists and winemakers are declaring this to be the region's best in over a decade. While quantity is down overall there has been a significant - and directly proportional - lift in quality. This reduced harvest is attributed to decreased availability of water, cool-to-moderate spring weather resulting in a slow start to shoot development, and low sub-soil moisture level during those months. The fruit presented was extremely clean and disease-free. Winemakers are especially impressed with the brilliant colour of the reds which are said to be outstanding in terms of colour, ripe fruit expression and tannin development although fruit from some vines was only half that produced in previous years.
FOOD MATCH Enjoy slightly chilled with barbecued prawns, spicy asian dishes or simply anytime!
CELLARING This wine has been made to drink now but will cellar for 5 years.
