The colour is reminiscent of pink peach skin with vibrant rose gold to light bronze hues. Fresh ripe black cherries, citrus and stone fruit notes dominate the nose, complimented by freshly baked pie crust aromas from 18 months of yeast age.
The entry is gentle and creamy with mouth-filling stone fruits, raspberry and vanilla ice-cream characters. Soft citrus tones keep the palate fresh, balanced and focused.
The inclusion of a little red base wine in the assemblage provides an extra layer of savoury complexity, additional richness, as well as persistence to the dry, crisp finish.
Green Point Rose is crafted to create a fresh and elegant aperitif style wine, with enticing colour, a long, generous palate and a crisp finish.
Background Information:
Green Point was established in Victoria in 1986 to produce high quality sparkling and still wines in the highly regarded Yarra Valley. Green Point was so named as it was one of the last places in the Yarra Valley to remain green during the summer months. The cool climate in the South East corner of Australia is ideal for the production of high quality still and sparkling wines.
The sparkling wines are made using ‘méthode traditionelle’, and have been consistently acclaimed by the wine press. Green Point uses the same three grapes found in Champagne - Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay to create exceptionally refined and elegant sparkling wines. Thanks to the temperate climate of Yarra Valley, the estate’s still wines, including the celebrated Green Point Shiraz, stand out among those from other Australian wine-producing regions for their balance and finesse.
