Stoney Rise Trousseau 2023

2022 Stoney Rise Trousseau. One of the reasons we searched high and low around Australia to find this variety to plant was that it has a great structure and a savoury finish that we think makes it perfect to accompany food. It does have some cherry, almost Pinot Noir-like, aromas but there is an underlying clove-like flavour that sends it to food-match heaven! The juice is on skins in a mix of clay and stainless for about eight days before being pressed to amphora for a short maturation. There is plenty of Turkish delight going on here, with some stewed raspberries on the palate. Fresh and juicy, great with lamb kofta. – Lou & Joe Holyman
