Pretty, perfumed and pink

Oxygen… it can be the hero or the villain in winemaking. Here, it’s definitely the hero. Used appropriately at the right times it adds layers and complexities, and protected from it at other times it preserves clarity and character.

The 2022 Oxygen is a Rose made from 100% Pinot Noir grown by the Johansen family in Tumbarumba at over 700masl. The Pinot is hand-picked and foot stomped before pressing to barrel for natural fermentation. Post-ferment it is aged for a further 18 months before bottling unfined, unfiltered and unsulfured.

Pale pink, almost copper in colour. The Oxygen is a dry, floral, Rose with mid-palate weight and a fine lees-derived texture. This is a complex and powerful rose, yet fine and drying. Watch it evolve it’s beautiful perfumes and feel that texture and length build over the palate. Best served with seafood, pasta or chicken dishes.
