Gilbert Rouge is an exciting cool climate Australian blend of Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Riesling from New South Wales. A fragrant medium-bodied red with silky, soft bramble fruit flavours and a hint of spice.
Sourced from vineyards in Mudgee and Orange, this wine truly has the best of both worlds. With Shiraz, being sourced from Mudgee, at an elevation of 520 meters above sea level, these grapes are quite rich and round rainfall is 600mm per annum. By contrast, Orange’s cooler climate, and higher elevation of 880 metres, produces more elegant and refined qualities.
This unusual blend of grapes was destemmed and cold soaked for 3 days to fix the aroma and colour, while to maintain the bright fresh fruit character, a combination of old neutral oak and stainless steel were used for maturation.
A delicious soft, aromatic, silky medium-bodied red with fragrant mulberry and damson aromas accented with half a twist of black pepper. A wonderful red which will work well both slightly chilled or at room temperature.
