Family and wine are amongst Geoff’s great loves, this wine is the perfect balance of these. Charley Rose is a crisp, clean dry Grenache Rose named after his cheerful and vibrant youngest daughter.

Aroma: The aroma is fresh and perfumed, showing bright raspberry and some red cherry, with hints of floral violets.

Palate: The palate has a nice weight of fruit filling it out, with a distinct acidity running through. Berry compote, glace cherry and subtle liquorice characters notes. A fine, fresh and fruity wine which will accompany many styles of food.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with pork dumplings, roast pork, pork and fennel sausage, beef or tuna carpaccio and pasta with Carbonara sauce.

The combination of late flowering and cool summer conditions resulted in a late harvest period. Once again cool wet autumn conditions combined to further slow ripening and prolong vintage. In summary 2023 was cool and wet, harvest was later than usual, and yields were well below average. Whilst this has been a chal-lenging season for grape growers and winemakers alike it has allowed their skills to shine, and we expect to see elegant wines that express terroir.
