Yetti & The Kokonut "B'Rosé" 2022

This is a highly aromatic, layered and complex über-rosé. Energetic magenta in the glass, with aromas of crushed red plums, figs, fresh raspberries and hints of blood orange and lemon zest. The palate is uplifting with full-flavored notes echoing the aromas, plus a touch of melon, vanilla bean and whispers of flowers along the path. The finish is high-toned and quite exuberant, bursting with fun and joy. This is the perfect wine for popping corks and crushing bottles anytime of the year.

"B’Rosé" is the product of the bromance between winemakers Dave & Koen, and their making of a "Barossa Rosé" (aka B’Rosé). The components of this wine have changed every vintage, but the idea of making a delicious mélange of red and white grapes with the most delicate of handling has remained the same. Regardless of where home is for these grapes, chasing a fresh line of acid congruent with fresh fruit forwardness is the calling sign for B’Rosé.

This vintage sees the return of Sémillon as the lead grape (20%), alongside Muscat à Petits Grains (20%). Then equal parts (15%) of the following are added to give color, texture, and finesse: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier, Riesling, and Cab Franc. The fruit was hand-harvested across five sites in South Australia, and fermented in 5-6 batches with a portion of whole berry ferments for 4-7 days prior to being pressed to stainless-steel to finish primary and malolactic fermentations. Post-ML the wines were blended to tank to meld for six months on the lees and settled naturally. Bottled without fining or filtration, and just a 38 ppm sulfur addition. 833 cases produced.
