La Linea Tempranillo Rosé 2023 is a delightful testament to a decade and a half of dedication to crafting exceptional dry rosés. Back in 2007, La Linea set the stage for serious, food-friendly pink wines in Australia, and this 2023 edition continues that legacy with flair.

Sourced from the 'Llangibby' vineyard nestled between Echunga and Mt Barker in the Adelaide Hills, the 2023 vintage faced the challenge of one of the coolest and latest seasons in recent memory. However, the rosé gods smiled upon the winemakers, delivering a dry season that spared the grapes from potential nastiness.

Picked on the 28th of March, 2023, at 12.3 Baumé, the winemaking process is elegantly simple: crushed, brief skin contact for that touch of magic, settled, racked, fermented, and bottled in the first week of August.

In the glass, the La Linea Tempranillo Rosé wears a pale onion-skin pink hue, inviting you to a sensory journey. The aroma is a lively riot of red apple, musk, watermelon, and gentle floral notes. As you sip, the flavors echo this aromatic symphony—a mouthful of freshness and life, with a delightful crunch of gentle tannin on the finish, a result of judicious skin contact.

This rosé is downright delicious and deserves to be enjoyed in its youth, capturing the essence of the season and the artistry of La Linea's winemaking. Cheers to a rosé that not only stands out but has set the standard for others to admire and emulate.
