Sally's Paddock

This powerful wine has a clear Ruby Violet colour with a tinge of purple. Distinctive legs as usual. The fresh berry aromas have a definite cigar box background with some Rose and Violet floral notes. Some lifted spice and cherry aromas are evident as well. Definite, balanced and fine palate, fresh and tasting of berries but overall wine flavoured. Subtle and complex new wood flavours are well integrated. Some dark cherry flavours on the front palate. The middle palate is “wine” all the way with lingering complex savoury flavours but more fresh fruit characters than the previous vintages. Fine grained natural tannins. Very long soft clean finish with hints of spices and a lovely aftertaste. This wine is deceptively soft, as usual with Sally’s Paddocks at this stage, and will mature beautifully for at least 20 years.

Light garnet in colour, this full flavoured Rose exhibits floral aromas, white pepper and spices, coupled with the characteristic strawberry and cranberry typical of Pinot Rose. The wild yeast fermentation of the Pinot Noir grapes create some exotic flavours of marachino cherries, spices, and red cranberries. The layering of these flavours creates a light, even palate with a crisp, lively finish. This wild child is best consumed immediately and served cold with a selection of antipasto.
