Hanging Rock Winery - Macedon Brut Rosé NV

The 'Macedon' Rose is aged on-lees in the bottle for a minimum of 24 months. A couple of drops of Pinot Noir are added to the wine at dosage to give the wine its salmon pink colour. It is delicate in flavour, dry finishing and an ideal aperitif.

In 1983, Hanging Rock Winery planted the first vines in their 'Jim Jim' vineyard, situated at 650m above sea level. The aim was to make a great Australian sparkling wine. They planted Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and trellised the vines in the traditional sparkling wine method. 

As per their other 'Macedon' sparkling wines, Macedon Rose is made using a non vintage blend of base wines, made from pinot noir and chardonnay from their own vineyard, dating back to 1987. The base wine spends an average of 4 years on yeast lees in barrel before being tiraged bottled. Each one of our 'Macedon' sparkling wines starts from this base.
