Rhubarb, Red Currant, Raspberry + Strawberry Wine

Tasting Notes

The. Most. Gorgeous.... watermelon pink colour, clear as a bell.

There's strong strawberry on the nose, then a hint of macrocarpa with rhubarb bringing up the rear.

Strawberry and rhubarb are the dominant flavours, there's a lovely hint of sweetness and the perfect touch of acidity (thank you, red currants) that has you wanting more. This is a rosè with a nice long finish.  Perfect accompaniment for a cheese board.

Winemaking Notes

This relatively small batch of wine (relative to other winemakers! 45 litres) was made from fresh rhubarb harvested from my own, my friend's, and my neighbours garden, late 2024.

Macerated in sugar with homegrown red currants, plus strawberries and raspberries.  Oh!  This year I even threw in some cherry plums from the property.

Then it was all sieved and washed out, yeast pitched, fermented out until February 2025, then bulk aged for four months until it was bottled in June.  Bottle aged until it's release in September 2025.

Best drunk young but can be stored up to three years.
