This is an excellent release from the exceptional 2023 vintage. The wine is an even split between Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the cone-shaped, granite-rich Denton site in the Yarra Valley. The Shiraz block sits at the top of the warm, west-facing slope, while the own-rooted Cabernet vines lie on the northern slope, again towards the top of the hill. All the fruit was pressed as whole bunches to tank for natural fermentation, followed by a six-month maturation in old oak. The wine was then bottled without fining or filtration. The Shed range is all about perfume, texture and drinkability, so this rosé emphasises freshness, lightness and delicacy.
