Due to limited production this wine is reserved for Solstice Club Members. Winemaker: Erinn Klein Grape(s): Pink Semillon GI: Adelaide Hills (Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia) Site(s): Ngeringa Rufus Vineyard notes: Ngeringa's three vineyard sites total five hectares and are on easterly and westerly aspects at the base of Mount Barker Summit. They are part of a biodiverse, 75-hectare biodynamic farm on the south-eastern edge of the Adelaide Hills. Mount Barker Summit defines these sites ranging from 330 to 420 meters of elevation. Our vineyard soils are loam over clay, with varying influences of ironstone and micaceous schist. Ngeringa has been certified biodynamic since the 1980's with no chemical sprays, fertilizers or insecticides applied. Winemaking: Fruit stayed on skins for three to four days at a very cool temperature to prevent fermentation from commencing. This time on skins increased flavour, colour and phenolic texture. Fruit was then whole bunch pressed and juice was sent to old French barriques for fermentation and maturation for nine months. Bottling occurred in October 2025 with no enzymes and no fining. Tasting notes: A textural rose made from Pink Semillon fruit, showcasing flavours of ripe peach, rockmelon and a hint of curry leaf spice. The chewy, marshmallow phenolic texture is perfectly paired with Spring dishes. Closure: Stelvin screw cap ABV: 13.5%
