Eight at the Gate Single Vineyard Rose 2023

Sisters Jane Richards and Claire Davies are part of a SA farming family. While Jane took a path through the corporate world in the US, Claire stayed in South Australia attending the famous Roseworthy College, and they came together in 2002 to set up Eight at the Gate in Wrattonbully. The name is a reference to the eight children they have between them! Multi award winning Peter Douglas, once a senior winemaker with Wynns Coonawarra Estate, heads the winemaking team. He's crafted this pink Cabernet using fruit from a Single Vineyard, and it's been given scores of 93 and 91pts. "It's delicately fragrant on the nose with raspberry, red apple and citrus peel nuances, leading to a vibrant palate that's light and lingering. Charming and refreshing, making it immediately appealing. At its best: now to 2026." (Sam Kim Wine Orbit).
