Description

The Polo range of wine are made to accompany sunny days with friends....and divot stomping. This 2019 Rouge is bright and crunchy. Fragrantly aromatic, it's palate of ripe cherries and alpine strawberries finished with a touch of spice and fresh youthful acidity.

Winemaking Notes

The wine is comprised of 91% Pinot Noir and 9% Shiraz. Both varietals were handpicked - the Pinot portion was produced exclusively in stainless steel, and the Barossan clone of Shiraz was aged in older oak barrels. The components were carefully selected and blended prior to bottling.

Growing Conditions

Vintage 2019 presented enormously favourable conditions for growers in the Yarra Valley. Following a cold winter, bud-burst was a little later than normal. Early spring conditions were cool and very dry but in both November and December we experienced excellent rainfall. With replenished soil moisture we were well set up for both generous yields and the warm to hot months of January and February. Harvest days were perfect with uninterrupted picking completed by mid-March.

Food Pairing

Roasted butternut pumpkin, haloumi, pomegranate, parsley, almonds and raisin sherry vinaigrette.
