Our 2023 Turkey Flat Rosé is dominated by fresh aromatic strawberry, candied apple, and delicate florals, with subtle supportive hints of white pepper, spice, and blood orange. The palate is full of an energetic tension, with red berry fruit and peach encapsulated in a powdery talc like textural grip. The finish is long and savory, with an evident creaminess adding volume and depth. A fresh wine best consumed in its youth, always serve chilled.

This wine was first made during a time when Rosé was an anathema in a region becoming world- renowned for big, bold Shiraz. Turkey Flat created a style crafted with clear purpose to shift perceptions, demonstrating that Australian Rosé can be a fine wine and that the Barossa is well-placed to be its source.

The 2023 Vintage will go down as one of the latest starts at Turkey Flat in over a decade. This thanks to a wet winter, which lead into a cool, wet spring. These conditions pushed budburst out almost four weeks, with progress further slowed by the cooler and wetter weather conditions extending into December. However, what followed was a long, slow ripening period through summer producing wines of higher natural acidity with perfumed aromatics and intense flavours.

Each individual vineyard was picked and vinified separately at differing stages of maturity. Upon picking, the fruit was crushed and delicately pressed to stainless steel tanks to cold settle, before being racked and fermented. Fermentation was cool and long to maximise aromatic intensity and purity. Post ferment, the wine was blended, filtered, and sent straight to bottle to preserve freshness.
