2023 LE FAUVE By Charteris ROSÉ
Tasting Note
The nose is full of yellow skinned Rainier cherries and cranberry with a hint of watermelon adding to the spice and floral aromatics that are so abundant. Underlying brambly notes add complexity and intrigue. Lots of savoury flavour and texture across wild herbs and cherry depth. Buckets of fruit and complexity give the palate abundance of flavour. Persistent Turkish delight carries the crunchy and delicately dry structure to a crescendo of flavour and texture.
Drink over the next 2 years.
You can happily drink this wine on its own but the depth of fruit almost commands food with intensity, Bucatini all'Amatriciana straight out of Stanley Tucci’s Searching for Italy.

Vineyard Notes
Vintage Conditions For the second year running NSW was impacted a strong La Nina weather pattern with a cooler and wetter growing season and summer than the long-term trend shows. The key phenological development stages for the vineyards across NSW were well behind usual and the result was a very nervous period in the lead up to harvest.
Ripening was very slow and prolonged across the high country but this has given us some great depth of flavour combined with excellent acidity resulting in flavoursome yet vibrant wines.
Winemaker Notes
With the 2022 Rose we have expanded the blend of varieties in this wine to include Mourvèdre in addition to Grenache and Shiraz completing the picture. 35% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre and 30% Shiraz.
This is a single vineyard wine from the Hudson Vineyard just outside of Young in the Hilltops region of NSW tended by Will Snedden and Xanthe Freeman. The combination of a true continental climate with the perfect balance of diurnal heat and cool on very old granite soils brings out the best in these varieties.
