Wine Code Breaker #427

2023 Turkey Flat Rosé, Barossa Valley, South Australia

If wine was invented today, what would it be released in? Glass bottles as per today? Probably not. Tetra packs? They offer some advantages. What about aluminium cans? Aluminium is infinitely recyclable and offers a seal of high integrity. It is light, making transport and lifting more efficient. I am sure a range of vessel sizes could be worked out and the surface provides ample room for labelling. Would you buy wine in a can?

The 2023 Turkey Flat Rosé is a Grenache from the Barossa Valley in South Australia. It is a delightful salmon pink in colour and is the perfect backdrop for a lunchtime or late afternoon snack. The nose is fresh: rose petals and red berry fruits with a hint of spice. The palate ripples with Turkish Delight, raspberries and red currants that all float effortlessly on clouds of subtle tannins. The crisp acidity drives a finish that is oh so refreshing and delightful. What a treat out of a can.

Enjoy!
