The wine:

Stony Creek rose is made from Shiraz grapes and harvested in April. After the grape selection, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the wine. The beautiful deep color of the rosé wine is achieved by the skins remaining together with the must for up to 24 hours. Subsequently, the wine is corked and stored for a shorter time in tanks to get an increased density in the taste.

The area:

Riverland is located in South Australia. It is a wine region that grew up around the Murray River in the post WW1 era. Today, the area is dominated by wine production and citrus fruits. A very stable climate and constant water supply from the Murray River help to ensure very good conditions for growing wine grapes of consistently high quality. In recent years, the quality has increased significantly in the Riverland, as a stricter clone selection has been started to obtain higher quality grapes. The focus on innovation and high quality produces wines with great intensity and great balance.
