2023 Lux Venit Rose, Chaffey Bros

Experience the essence of modern Barossa Valley with the 2023 Lux Venit Rosé from Chaffey Bros. This premium Australian rosé is a masterful blend of Grenache (60%) and Mourvèdre (40%), sourced from sustainably farmed, low-yield vineyards in distinguished sub-districts like Vine Vale and Lyndoch. Hand-harvested at night to preserve its vibrant acidity, the grapes undergo a gentle whole-bunch pressing. Partial wild fermentation in neutral French oak (15%) and three months on lees impart a delicate creaminess and refined texture without compromising the wine's fresh, crisp character. The result is a stunning fuchsia wine with an aromatic bouquet of fresh strawberries, white peaches, rose petals, and subtle hints of citrus zest and wet stone. On the palate, enjoy a harmonious burst of red berry flavors—raspberry and cranberry—complemented by a sleek, saline-mineral finish. At 13.3% ABV, it is perfectly balanced, offering weight without heaviness. Exceptionally food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, herb-roasted chicken, and Mediterranean salads. Serve chilled at 8–10°C to appreciate its full complexity. This vegan-friendly wine is a standout expression of its terroir, best enjoyed within 3–5 years of release.
