A Limited Edition Treasure

Tulloch Wines 2023 Cellar Door Release Rosé

In the heart of the Hunter Valley, Tulloch Wines continues to innovate, offering wine enthusiasts a chance to experience something truly unique with their Cellar Door Release wines.

The 2023 Rosé is a perfect example of Tulloch’s commitment to exploring new and emerging varietals, styles, and regions, crafted exclusively for their Cellar Door and Wine Club Members.

A Rosé from the High Country

While Tulloch Wines is synonymous with the Hunter Valley, the 2023 Cellar Door Release Rosé takes us to the cool-climate region of Orange. Known for its elevated vineyards and pristine growing conditions, Orange provides the ideal terroir for crafting a rosé that is both elegant and expressive. The high altitude and cooler temperatures contribute to the wine’s fresh acidity and vibrant flavour profile, making it a standout in the Tulloch portfolio.

Tasting Notes: A Delicate Symphony of Flavours

The 2023 Rosé greets you with a beautiful musk colour, hinting at the refined and delicate nature of this wine. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of Turkish delight and blossom, a fragrant introduction that sets the stage for what’s to come.

The palate is where this rosé truly shines. It’s crafted in a dry style, with subtle hints of rose-petal and citrus that add complexity and depth. The wine is light and refreshing, with a crisp acidity that makes it an ideal companion for warm days and long lunches. The balance between the floral notes and the zesty citrus creates a harmonious finish that lingers, inviting you to take another sip.

The Winemaking Process: Precision and Purity

To preserve the fresh, vibrant character of the 2023 Rosé, Tulloch’s winemaking team opted for stainless steel tank maturation. This method allows the wine to retain its bright fruit flavours and crisp acidity, without the influence of oak. The result is a pure expression of the fruit, with a focus on showcasing the unique qualities of the Orange region.

This rosé is designed to be enjoyed in its youth, with a recommended cellaring time of up to two years. However, its lively nature makes it perfect for immediate enjoyment, especially as the warmer months approach.

Food Pairing: Versatile and Elegant

The 2023 Cellar Door Release Rosé is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Its dry, crisp profile makes it a natural partner for a Salad Nicoise, where the wine’s citrus notes complement the freshness of the salad. It’s also an excellent choice for a charcuterie board, where its acidity cuts through the richness of cured meats and cheeses, balancing the flavours perfectly.

Whether you’re enjoying a casual lunch or hosting a more formal gathering, this rosé is sure to impress with its elegance and versatility.
