Latest News > 2008 Juniper Crossing Rose

The Crossing wines fulfill a different purpose from the Estate wines. They are our more easy drinking style with an appropriately lower price tag. We would like them to be enjoyed every day while the Estate wines remain the pinnacle of our ambitions, spending more time in oak (in the case of the reds) and being released later.

2008 Juniper Crossing Rose



Awards:

Australian Small Winemakers Show 2008 Bronze Medal
Royal Perth Wine Show 2008 Bronze Medal

Reviews:

Another very good rose from 2008, this wine again had the lovely mid-pink hue associated with good examples of the style. A lighter style, but nonetheless satisfying, soft and slightly sweet, this wine should be a crowd pleaser at the cellar door.
Awarded: Bronze (15.5)

Break this out on a hot summers day along with some Thai and it is truly a match made in heaven. The ripe confectionery flavours of the fruit – think strawberry, raspberry and watermelon along with a semi- dry roundness to the finish just sets each element of the wine off nicely and delivers delicious Rose` drinking. Try with drunken Thai noodles.
Drink Now. About $19. 89/100 – Very Good.

This Margaret River blend of cabernet, shiraz and merlot is ideal for summer. With its lively berry aromas and flavours, it has bright fruit and a dry finish. Try it with spicy Asian food.
Sally Gudgeon, Lifestyle Wine Lesson, Sunday Age, 11 January 2009.

With a value-for-money label, this rosé smells distinctly of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The wine contains both grape varieties as well as some spicy shiraz. An enticing pink, it is fragrant with tangy, clean acid.
Jane Faulkner, The Age A2 Holiday Edition, 2-3 January 2009.

A consistently impressive Margaret River rosé made from cabernet, shiraz and merlot: soft, fine, delicate, fruity, finishing crisp, dry and pure.
Peter Forrestal, STM's Top 100 Summer Wines, 14 December 2008
