Named in honour of Sarah's daughter, who was born less than two months before the first release rosé went into bottle, Alta 'For Elsie' Rosé is a far cry from the usual sweet rosé's common in the Australian market.
In this drier style rosé, Sarah uses pinot noir grapes and allows for the natural fruit flavours in the grapes to provide sweetness. Barrel fermentation and ageing on lees gives the wine complexity and texture.
The result is a soft, savoury rosé driven by attractive red berry fruits.
