An enchanting rosé from this small, family run vineyard in South Gippsland at the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland. Made from 100% estate-grown pinot noir. A crisp, juicy palate full of strawberries with a long carry and aftertaste. A very food-friendly wine.
"A deliciously layered single vineyard rosé, the palate displays supple, soft acidity, generous fruit depth and lifted spice character. with hints of summer berries, its crisp, refreshing finish make it the perfect rose to match with food and to share with friends." Waratah Hills
About the winery
Waratah Hills is a small, family run vineyard, situated at the gateway to Victoria’s famed Wilson’s Promontory, the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland. Vines were first planted in the mid 90’s and are close planted and low trellised, reminiscent of Burgundy.
It is a beautifully sited vineyard planted with two acres of Chardonnay and seven acres of Pinot Noir separated by a band of trees. Pinot Noir is the signature variety at Waratah Hills, featuring four distinct clones; mv6, d2v5, g5v15 and h7v15. South Gipplsland’s, with it's cool, maritime climate, is widely acknowledged as one of the best pinot noir producing areas in Australia.

Victoria
Victoria is home to more than 800 wineries across 21 wine regions. The regions are Alpine Valley, Beechworth, Bendigo, Geelong, Gippsland, Glenrowan, Goulburn Valley, Grampians, Heathcote, Henty, King Valley, Macedon Ranges, Mornington Peninsula, Murray Darling, Pyrenees, Rutherglen, Strathbogie Ranges, Sunbury, Swan Hill, Upper Goulburn and Yarra Valley.
Victoria's first vines were planted at Yering in the Yarra Valley in 1838. By 1868 over 3,000 acres had been planted in Victoria, establishing Victoria as the premier wine State of the day. Today, the original vineyards planted at Best's Wines are among the oldest and rarest pre-phylloxera plantings in the world.
Victoria's climate varies from hot and dry in the north to cool in the south and each wine region specialises in different varietals. For example, Rutherglen in the north is famous for its opulent Muscats and Topaque and bold reds, while the many cooler climate regions near Melbourne produce world class Chardonnay and pinot Noir. Victoria is truly a wine lover's playground.
