Description

Vineyard

The Spice Route Saffron Rosé 2025 comes from bush-vine Grenache Noir vineyards in Darling. These sites grow in red Oakleaf soils and overlook the cold Atlantic Ocean. As a result, the vines ripen slowly and retain higher natural acidity. This maritime influence shapes refined flavour development and defines the distinctive Saffron Rosé style.

Winemaking

The team handpicked all grapes and delivered them to the cellar for careful sorting and gentle pressing. They fermented the individual components in old 500-litre French oak barrels, which allowed slow and controlled fermentation. After fermentation, the wine remained in barrel under temperature-controlled conditions for several months. Production stayed limited, reinforcing the focused and premium nature of this rosé.

Tasting Notes

Spice Route Saffron Rosé 2025 appears light to pale in the glass. Delicate aromas of rose petal, apple, and red cherry lead the nose. On the palate, the wine shows a dry, full-bodied structure with flavours of blackberries, cinnamon spice, and lightly integrated oak. The finish feels refined and balanced, with freshness carrying through.
