Winery/Brand: Battle of Bosworth
The Rose has a gorgeous nose of watermelon rind, red fruits and nettles. It has a balanced, even palate with bright, fresh acidity. The wine finishes dry, clean and wonderfully fresh.
The Story
The War of the Rosé was made to be a rosé and not a ‘Saigneé’ style; that is the grapes were picked at about 13° beaumé. They were pressed off and allowed about 45 minutes skin contact with the juice. We were ruthless, and only pressed off about 400 litres/ tonne, to make sure there were no hard phenolics in the wine. The wine underwent a very cool ferment in stainless steel prior to bottling. The War of the Rosé is a dry Rosé style.
Vintage 2008: Average winter rains were followed by a very cool and dry late January/ February, resulting in very healthy vines with big canopies and intensely arietal fruit which held their acidity extraordinarily well.
