Stargazer Rada 2024

Description

Product Description:Energetic, fragrant and effortlessly drinkable. Stargazer Rada 2024 is a blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Gamay, drawn from southern Tasmanian sites and handled with a lightness of touch. The name Rada refers to a vineyard term meaning an opening or clearing, reflecting both landscape and style. The 2024 release combines 50 percent Meunier, 44 percent Noir and 6 percent Gamay, with a modest whole bunch component and elevage in old French oak puncheons. Bright and expressive, it carries red fruit, spice and savoury herbs across a lithe, textural frame. Gamay brings a lifted, wild-edged perfume that balances Meunier’s softness and Pinot’s fine structure. Tasting NotesNOSE– Spiced and liftedSaline cherry, chamomile, sage flower and a trace of liquorice with savoury tension.
