2024 Spring Vale Rose, Freycinet Coast

Spring Vale Rosé from Tasmania’s Freycinet Coast is a bright, crisp, and beautifully expressive wine that captures the cool-climate charm of the island’s east coast. Crafted from Pinot Noir grown on the family’s estate vineyard near Cranbrook, this is a dry, elegant rosé with pristine fruit, refreshing acidity, and a gentle savoury edge that elevates it beyond the simple and sweet.

Spring Vale is a fifth-generation farming property turned boutique winery, family-owned and operated with a strong focus on sustainable viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking. The Freycinet Coast, with its maritime influence, long growing season, and rich, ancient soils, is an ideal setting for delicate, aromatic wines—especially Pinot Noir, which forms the backbone of this graceful rosé.

The fruit is handpicked and gently pressed, with a short time on skins to extract that perfect pale blush colour. Fermented cool in stainless steel to retain purity and lift, the wine is left on lees for a short period to build texture without losing its crisp, clean finish.

In the glass, expect aromas of wild strawberry, watermelon, red apple, and a touch of rose petal. The palate is dry and vibrant, showing juicy red berries, citrus zest, and a mineral-driven line of acidity that keeps it fresh and food-friendly. There’s a whisper of savouriness on the finish that adds subtle complexity and elegance.

Spring Vale Rosé is made for sunny days, seafood platters, and long lunches—charming, refreshing, and unmistakably Tasmanian.
