The Victorian Mid Strength Primitivo Rose 2025
A primitivo-based rosé with plenty of sass, freshness and personality with only 7.5% alcohol volume and only 4.4 standard drinks which means its lighter on the head. Salmon pink colour, restrained aromatics of red apple and wild strawberry. On the palate the wine has a fresh and bright tasting mid strength Rose.
The grapes were grown on Carrillo Gartners Booroola vineyard, in the cool Strathbogie Ranges of Central Victoria. We kept the juice in contact with the red primitivo grape skins just long enough to pick up the palest pink colour, and went on to make the full strength parent wine in the normal way. Then just before bottling we used an amazing machine to remove some of the alcohol. It works at low pressure and cool temperature to help preserve the lovely wild strawberry and red apple flavours of the parent wine, and gives us this bright, refreshing and tasty mid-strength rose.

The grapes were grown on Carrillo Gartners Booroola vineyard, in the cool Strathbogie Ranges of Central Victoria. We kept the juice in contact with the red primitivo grape skins just long enough to pick up the palest pink colour, and went on to make the full strength parent wine in the normal way. The cool thing about this wine is how we get some of the alcohol out!
Just before bottling we used an amazing machine to remove some of the ethanol/alcohol. The tech is called evaporative perstraction, but its easier to think of it as a filter. On one side of the filter membrane we have wine, and on the other side we have water. The membrane is a bit magical and it lets the ethanol momentarily turn into a gas which then wants to move from the high strength wine side to the low alcohol water side. This all happens at low pressure and cool temperature to help preserve the lovely wild strawberry and red apple flavours of the parent wine, and gives us this bright, refreshing and tasty mid-strength rose.

A very different rosé expression from this maker. The '25 primitivo rosé boasts just 7.5% abv through the use of evaporative perstraction (ambient temperature and low pressure). This is a low alcohol rosé suited to primitivo, highlighting bright confection pink hues and a fragrant scent of summer red berries, earth, florals and spice. Retains a brightness in acidity, and, while slightly subdued in summer berry flavour, it retains an earthy presence. Early drinking is recommended. - Jeni Port
