Check out what they have to say about 2011 Foster e Rocco Rosé

Four vintages in and really finding the groove stylistically, very similar treatment in the winery as in the past few vintages with a mixture of parcels some being farmed off to old oak others being left in tank and a lot of lees work for texture. Natural ferments on the Rosé are commonly seeing super long fermentation periods of around 115 days and the wine has struck a chord of balance between a textured mid palate yet still supported by linear acidity. All in all producing the ‘house style’ we set out to make of a wine that is subtle in colour, highly fragrant and textural, yet still dry and refreshing.
