Spring Seed aim to make a lovely pale pink, dry crisp Rosé with nice acidity and exceedingly drinkable. With a nose of strawberries and watermelon rind, the Morning Bride ticks off all of the above, no worries. Serve chilled as an aperitif or drink with charcuterie and mild cheeses, as well as traditional southern French onion tart, or pissaladière. Google the recipe and try it.

The ‘Morning Bride’ is made to be a Rosé - the Spring Seed team picked some of their Chanticleer Shiraz early, especially to make this wine. Grapes were de-stemmed and pressed with no skin contact at all (apart from travel time between vineyard and winery). There was a cool, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks and once the grapes were through malolactic fermentation the wine was filtered and then went straight to bottle. The trick with this wine is not to leave it for too long on skins when it has been picked otherwise the colour gets too dark…
