Dominique Portet Fontaine Rosé has long been rated as one of Australia's leading examples of Rosé and the 2024 vintage is sure to please the many fans of this wine. The fruit comes from various cool sites, which allows the fruit to ripen gradually while retaining vital natural acidity and refreshment that makes a good Rosé so special.
The 2024 Dominique Portet Fontaine Rosé is made up of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet and 10% Shiraz, and all picked by hand before being gently crushed and pressed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks for pure, unadulterated red fruit expression and freshness.
In true Provence fashion, its pale salmon with scents of cherry blossom, and ripe red berries. The berry spectrum continues on the palate, but think ripe, plum, juicy berries; add to that some stone fruit and its almost like a Peach Melba in a glass - plenty of freshness and poise but with weight, body and creaminess. As bright as the light over the Mediterranean, with a long dry, crisp finish.
