Details and technical informations about James Estate's Rosé.
Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc
Supple, fragrant reds with fine tannins and vibrant freshness, showing raspberry, violet, green pepper, pencil lead and gentle spice aromas. Star of the Loire as a single variety (Chinon, Bourgueil, Saumur-Champigny) and of the right bank of Bordeaux in blends (Cheval Blanc at 60%). Also in semi-dry Anjou rosés. A historic Bordeaux variety, parent of Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenère.
Informations about the James Estate

The wine region of Upper Hunter Valley
GI sub-region of the Hunter Valley (NSW), further inland (Denman, Scone, Muswellbrook) at slightly higher altitude: Chardonnay dominates (70%+) with rich oaked flavours of peach and cream, sometimes blended with Semillon into aromatic whites. Robust reds complement. Warmer and drier than Lower Hunter, free-draining sandy-loamy soils — favourable dry season delivers crisp white profiles without excessive subtropical humidity.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Bouquet
The tertiary aromas that develop during aging and characterize the wine at its peak. This term is improperly used to refer to the aromas of a wine in general.
