A blend of 60/40% chardonnay/pinot noir; four years on lees, disgorged Dec 2022. Light straw with a faint blush and a stream of fine, energetic bubbles. Notes of apple, redcurrant, peach and citrus with underlying hints of red berry cream, soft spice, toasted brioche, raspberry tart, citrus blossom, mushroom broth, nori and stone. Mouth-filling and expansive with a fine tension between fruit and mineral-rich acidity finishing long with notes of cream, raspberry jam drop biscuits and finely honed red-fruits.

Pale salmon-pink colour with a very complex toasty/bready/croissant and dried strawberry bouquet that points to considerable tirage aging. The wine is intense and rich, soft textured and rounded, yet retains delicacy and finesse. Biscuity notes on the palate, and the follow-through is very dry and appetising, yet soft. 07 FEB 2024 Drink 2024–2029

#1 of 17 2017 Sparkling rosés from Australia
Commencing in 1993, Radenti Sparkling was the first premium Sparkling wine produced on the East Coast of Tasmania and has earned a formidable reputation for quality over the years, winning a swag of trophies and gold medals at various wine shows.
Now celebrating its 30th year of production, Radenti is one of a select few grower-producer sparkling wines produced in Australia, with its fruit entirely sourced from a single vineyard on a cooler part of the estate, dedicated to the production of traditional method sparkling wine.
Radenti Grand Vintage Rosé 2017 is the inaugural release of this wonderful style, and a very exciting moment in the evolution of our sparkling wine program. Overall blend proportions are 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir.
Fruit for Radenti Grand Vintage Rosé 2017 was grown on a cooler part of the estate, positioned 5 kilometres west of the main Freycinet vineyards, where remarkable delicacy of flavour is attained through careful management and slow ripening. This creates the foundation for a wine with true elegance and finesse. Further complexity is gained through long elevage in tank on lees and a further 4 years of maturation on lees. Patient, unhurried winemaking has resulted in a with an added layer of delicacy, finesse and elegance.
