Sourced entirely from the granite-rich Denton vineyard, the 2023 Crudo Rosé is 95% Shiraz with a 5% lift from Nebbiolo off the same site. The vines have spent 16 years in these rocky soils, facing northwest from near the top of the cone-shaped slope. The fruit was pressed as whole bunches and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tank. The wine completed malolactic conversion and was bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphur.

From the cool, low-cropping 2023 season, we agree with Luke’s assertion that this is the most refined and perfumed rosé he’s made. It’s got a lot in common with the bright, red-fruited and fragrant 2022 but feels more vinous and savoury and shows a touch more elegance and mineral appeal. It’s got al fresco dining written all over it.

Reviews

"It’s a delight. Sappy, savoury-edged, tart and red berry fruited. Pretty perfume, good depth and crunch, indeed, despite the ruby colour only a few pay grades below light red, you could say. A little slickness to texture, then that little rumble of tannin and bitey, chewy acidity rolls through. Energetic, thirst-quenching stuff."

“This 2023 Rosé Crudo is quite serious, although it starts a little shy, opening with baked raspberry, wild strawberry and watermelon aromas. Large format old oak helps to unearth some more meaty nuances. Dry and textural, with power and weight, earthy flavors dominate, with a nice touch of grip and a surprisingly long finish. This is vinous and food friendly.”
