2007 Foundstone Shiraz Rose
Foundstone is the foundation on which our portfolio rests. Sourced from vineyards in the sunny south east, this Shiraz Rose is full of flavour ready to drink now.
This Shiraz Rose offers aromas of red apple, boysenberry and pomegranate. The generous fruit palate lingers with sweet raspberry and kirsch notes which are beautifully balanced by the crisp acid finish.
VINTAGE 2007
VARIETY Shiraz 98%, Barbera 2%
REGION South Eastern Australia
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 with antipasto, BBQ marinated prawns or simply as an aperitif or simply anytime!
