ROSEMOUNT ESTATE GSM

TASTINGNOTE
A highly fragrant wine, bursting with a complex arrangement
of red cherries, mulberries and lifted floral spicy notes. Rich
red and black fruits on the palate are supported by supple
velvet tannins resulting in a long and elegant finish.

VINTAGECONDITIONS
Good winter rains and a warm spring led to early budburst
and flowering during spring. The ripening period between
February and March was cool and wetter than normal
resulting in a later than normal start to vintage. The cooler
ripening period allowed for a long flavour development,
producing wines with great elegance and brightness.
