Murdoch Hill's crisp, dry rosé is made from an unusual blend blend of Cabernet and Pinot Gris. The Cabernet, sourced from  Estate vineyards in Oakbank, makes up 70% of the blend and is pressed straight off skins. It takes its colour from the blend and is wild-fermented in old barrique and foudre. 

"A little over 20ha of vines have been established on the undulating, gum-studded countryside of Charlie and Julie Downer's 60-year-old Erika property, 4km east of Oakbank. In descending order of importance, the varieties planted are sauvignon blanc, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. Son Michael, with a Bachelor of Oenology degree from Adelaide University, is winemaker." 5 Star Winery Rating 'Outstanding' - James Halliday, 2015 Australian Wine Companion
