Hillebrand 2013 Rosé, Trius
The big change here is the clear bottle to make it stand out, and stand out it does. The Trius team has achieved a truly eye catching rosé colour (light salmon) using Syrah, Gamay, Merlot and Malbec … had I tried this earlier in the year it would have made my rosé video series; it still might make a video review before the end of the year. Nose is all-day sniffable with raspberry, cherry, lime and apricot that shines through before the palate shows off its refreshingly dry finish and great fruit in the form of raspberry and strawberry pith which helps out with the sweet-ish fruit adding a pleasant little bitterness to the finish. According to winemaker Craig McDonald Gamay adds the fruitiness while Shiraz kicks in some white pepper, an unexpected element in a rosé. Complex yet delicious. Price: $15.95 – Rating: ****+
