Ancestor Vine Rosato 1850

Tasting profile (AI-generated)

Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry

This rosato comes from Cirillo Estate's remarkable ancient Grenache vines in the Barossa Valley, some of the oldest in the world, made in a pale, dry style. Expect delicate red berry and rosehip notes with fresh citrus lift and a crisp, savoury finish rather than the richness the old vines might suggest. It is a refreshing, food-friendly wine best enjoyed young and lightly chilled.
