Our Snow Line Rosé is so called as the vines sit along the snow line on Mt Canobolas/Gaahna Bulla. Made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris, our rose is a dry style. Best enjoyed over the next 2 years.

The 2023 Snow Line Rosé is a pale but bright soft pink colour. The wine has lovely red fruit character, think strawberries, cherry and pomegranate. However, it is as much about texture than flavour intensity. Wet stone, savoury tannin, textural richness with a dry finish. This is an unconventional but logical blend of three pinots (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris) to produce an alluring, complex rosé. A single vineyard wine, as is common in the Topography range. The Pinot Noir and Meunier were harvested and fermented together in large 3,500 litre French oak barrel called a foudre – actually in Printhie’s oldest foudre purchased in 2016. The foudre adds savouriness and texture, not oak flavour. The Pinot Gris is blended after fermentation. Time is spent on yeast lees to develop further flavour and texture.

Very appealing young and fresh. Best enjoyed over the next 2 years.
