Marchand & Burch Village Rosé

Origin

Rosé is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity and the reasons for that are manifold. This contemporary style epitomizes freshness and delicacy, not to mention its inherent association with joyous occasions and sunshine. Inspired by the sophisticated rosé wines of France, Jeff and Pascal decided to utilise Western Australia’s finest wine-producing regions to craft a New World rosé that would reflect the elegance, subtly and grace of its European counterparts.

The Marchand and Burch Rosé pays homage to the wines of Provence, a steadfast advocate of elegant, dry Rosé. In this region of Southern France, a chilled glass of rosé often surpasses its white counterpart in popularity during the summer months, thanks to its irresistible simplicity and vibrance. It’s a wine to relish rather than cellar, renowned for its universal appeal and uncomplicated nature.

About Marchand & Burch Australian Collection Rosé

The 2023 Marchand and Burch Rosé is made from premium grapes from the Swan Valley, Great Southern and Margaret River. It reflects a contemporary style while taking cues from an admired tradition of dry, delectable, divine Rosé wines from the Southern French region of Provence. Comprised of old vine Grenache from the Swan Valley, Pinot Noir from the Great Southern and Shiraz from Margaret River, this pale pink wine conveys the delicate, alluring, spicy and mineral characteristics that make these wines so unashamedly enjoyable.

Once picked the grasses are immediately pressed to ensure only the lightest tinges of pink from the red grapes make it into the final blend. Some batches are kept cold on lees and stirred daily for up to one week prior to fermentation in order to build flavour complexity and texture. Beyond this early phase, the wine is largely made in the same way as white wine. The juice ferments in stainless steel and older French oak. Lees are stirred weekly from late in the fermentation until dry. During a short oak maturation, partial malolactic occurs. The wine is then blended, minimally fined and filtered. The result is a West Australian rosé of exceptional fruit purity and undeniable drinkability.

Tasting Note

A pale, misty peony pink, this Rosé is crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir and old vine Grenache and displays an alluring mix of forest berry perfumes, white strawberries and cranberries with pretty, lifted floral notes of citrus blossom and rose petals. Blood orange, pomegranate and tart, Pink Lady apple notes lead the way for a slick, salty mineral acidity that promotes continued sipping pleasure. Red liquorice and cherry glaze intertwine and bolster the mid-palate while stimulating an expressive mouthfeel that finishes with a lingering and mouthwatering sensation and just a hint of the finest tannin. Refreshing and bright, a wine to enjoy in its youth on a warm, summer’s afternoon, yet it will continue to delight over the next two years.
