Details and technical informations about Winery Mckellar Ridge's Rosé.
Discover the grape variety: Calitor gris
Light, pale and lightly coloured whites and rosés with a pale golden to salmon colour, a light, low-alcohol palate and discreet aromas of white flowers, light red fruits and neutral notes. An easy-drinking profile. Now marginal, found only in ampelographic collections or with a few passionate growers in the Var. Grey-skinned mutation of Calitor, a traditional southern variety once widespread in Provence.

The wine region of Canberra District
High-altitude Australian region (500-900 m, NSW) with continental climate: signature Shiraz as king red — medium-bodied, spicy and peppery with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, liquorice and a floral touch (often co-fermented with Viognier, Côte-Rôtie style), fine tannins and signature elegance. Dry Riesling as white king — vibrant and chiselled with citrus, green apple, white flowers and a mineral tension. Cabernet and Chardonnay as backup. GI, hot days and cold nights.
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: Mineral
Taste reminiscent of gunflint, chalk and many nuances of the mineral world, and reinforcing, especially in white wines, the notion of freshness and the sappy character.
