Our Metricup Road Rose shows fantastic balance and refreshment from this brilliant Rose vintage. Shiraz drives our blend with the decision being made to also pick a few small parcels of Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to make the most of this very good year for Rose. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ewinemaking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eThe fruit was picked over a 2-week period when each variety was at its optimum with the cold fruit being gently but quickly pressed off to avoid longer than necessary skin contact. Only the most fragrant, perfectly coloured and freshest free-run juice was used to make this wine. The juice was racked clear off the grape solids after 4 days of cold settling and fermented in tank at 12-15C to retain perfume and freshness in the final wine. Some parcels remained on light lees post-ferment to achieve the desired texture before blending and bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eregion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargaret River\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evarieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShiraz 86%\u003cbr\u003eMerlot 7%\u003cbr\u003eTempranillo 4%\u003cbr\u003eCabernet Sauvignon 3%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eanalysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 13.1%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity (TA): 5.69 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 3.31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidual Sugar: 2.20 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA delicious cheese platter in the warm weather with friends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evans \u0026 Tate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42094436679750,"sku":"0514ROS23D67","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/products\/ET_metricup_road_rose_cd386ad1-2b1a-4ce9-99be-ccfccdd82ed6.jpg?v=1620024378","url":"https:\/\/fogartyhall.wine\/products\/e-t-2023-metricup-road-rose","provider":"Fogarty Hall Fine Wine Estates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
