1314 wines are made from estate grown fruit, in a vibrant and approachable style for early enjoyment and refreshing drinking. Viticulture 1314 Rosé is made from a blend of estate Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot grown on our established vineyards, planted in 1981. Winemaking Handpicked fruit was whole bunch pressed, settled over night, and racked to tank for temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. After fermentation the wine was racked to a combination of stainless steel and old barrels for a 3-month maturation on lees prior to bottling. Tasting Note 1314 Rosé 2025 is bright and lively, with a generous core of jubey red fruits and a gentle savoury touch. Aromas of raspberries, pear drops, citrus and bramble lead into a fresh, textured palate of red apple skin and spicy, forest fruits. A subtle herbal note adds lift and complexity, keeping the wine crisp and dry. An easy going yet characterful Rosé made for relaxed, early drinking. Reviews 94 points. A blend of estate cabernet sauvignon/merlot/shiraz. A light, bright salmon. Subtle aromas of red berries, tangerines and spice lead onto the palate, which is dry, moreish and nicely persistent. A well-crafted wine to have in the fridge and ready to go this summer! Philip Rich, winecompanion.com.au. 92 points. Floral and pretty, with aromas of dried strawberries, citrus blossoms, pastry cream and mandarin rind. The palate is mid-weighted, with good texture and a phenolic grip balanced by bright acidity. A mix of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Drink now. Screw cap. Ryan Montgomery, jamessuckling.com.
