1314 Rosé 2024

1314 Rosé is made from a blend of estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Riesling & Merlot grown on our established vineyards, planted in 1981, 1990 & 1996.

Handpicked fruit was whole bunch pressed, settled over night, and racked to tank for temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. After fermentation the wine was racked to a combination of stainless steel and old barrels for a 3-month maturation on lees prior to bottling.

The 2024 Rosé offers refreshment and immediate enjoyment, but also interest and complexity. Pink grapefruit, Campari and tonic, orange pith and red apple present on the nose. On the palate strawberry and cream flavours, apple skin crunch, aromatic spices are all interplaying, along with orange zest bitterness which leaves the palate feeling clean, dry and ready for the next sip.

93 points. Made using estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Riesling and Merlot. Dust and leaf notes ripple through blackcurrant bud, citrus, jubey raspberry and sweet spice. It’s a dry rosé with lots of spice and leaf notes but with a good core of juicy fruit too. Colour-wise it sits just on the pale or orange side of crimson; it’s a fair indicator of the dry-but-flavoursome-style of the wine. There’s a meaty/bunchy/Campari-esque side to this; it’s not dominant but it’s there. This would be great with food. Campbell Mattinson, winefront.com.au.

92 points. The nose is vibrant and fresh, giving fruit-driven notes of nectarines, peaches and watermelon rind. The palate is is light-bodied with focused acidity, showing fresh herbs, red apple skin and chalk. Stylish and friendly. Made from a blend of 40% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 20% riesling and 20% shiraz. Drink now. Screw cap. Ryan Montgomery, jamessuckling.com.

91 points. A blend of estate cabernet sauvignon/merlot/riesling/shiraz. An iridescent salmon pink. Leaps out of the glass with its aromas of ripe red apples, blood oranges and mountain herbs. Flavoursome, gently textured and refreshing and a good accompaniment to a barbecued lamb cutlet and salads this summer. Philip Rich, winecompanion.com.au.
