Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Brackenwood's Rosso is a light, crunchy red blend of early-picked Shiraz with Pinot Noir and Barbera from Damon Nagel's biodynamically farmed vineyard at Kuitpo in the Adelaide Hills. It is made with wild yeast and nothing added, and bottled at low alcohol (around 11% in 2017). Juicy and bright, it leans on red fruit and fresh acidity rather than tannin or oak, and is meant for early drinking, lightly chilled if you like, rather than for the cellar.
