Pfeiffer Wines is a family owned and operated winery, located within the historic Rutherglen region. In the 1880’s Rutherglen was producing approximately a third of all wine in Australia, and in 1878 an All Saints wine wins Australia’s first international gold medal at the Paris Exhibition and the Rutherglen region was off and running.

In 1984 Chris and Robyn Pfeiffer purchase the winery from Seppelts and have restored and ressurected it to its former glory.

Chris and Robyn’s daugher Jen is now the chief winemaker, and is seriously good. She makes some stunning red wines which are probably some of the best value in the country.

This quote sums up how good Pfeiffers wines and Jen’s winemaking is:

“Jen has amassed over 300 medals and 12 trophies for Pfeiffer Wines in the past decade she has worked for the winery, plus had her wines nominated twice for export wine of the year.”

These are seriously worth a try.

Product Details

Description

Simpsons describe this wine as their Great British Classic Method Rosé. It is the epitome of English taste and luxury and is created from exclusively estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes hand-picked from our vineyards situated on the iconic chalk slopes of the North Downs of Kent.

Harvesting & Vinification: Pinot Noir grapes from our Roman Road vineyard site were carefully hand-picked and gently whole-bunch pressed in an Inertys, oxygen-free pneumatic press to preserve and protect the pure, primary red fruit flavours and aromatics. The juice was then cold settled in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks prior to primary fermentation. The wine progressed through full malolactic fermentation and then rested in tank prior to tirage in spring 2020.

Secondary Fermentation & Ageing: After the secondary fermentation in the bottle the wine then aged on its lees for fifteen months prior to disgorgement and then a further four months under cork prior to release in November 2021.

Tasting

This wine is delicately pink, with a very fine bead. It has a soft rose petal and fresh strawberry sorbet nose, illustrating finesse and balance. On the palate there are crisp, wild berry flavours balanced with hints of almond and rose, ending with a clean, complex finish.

Food Pairings

Pairs with bacon sandwichs, gammon steaks, pheasant.

Ageing

Cellaring Potential: Will drink well through to 2024, and potentially beyond if its cellared correctly.
