Part of the long-established Hardys portfolio, this wine comes from vineyards across South Eastern Australia, where warm conditions support ripe, fruit-driven styles. The Riddle range is designed to offer accessible and contemporary wines, with this rose made from Shiraz, a variety more commonly associated with red wine but well suited to producing vibrant, lightly structured pink wines. The style reflects a modern approach, focusing on freshness and broad appeal.
Short skin contact is used to extract colour and gentle flavour from the Shiraz grapes, followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain aromatic brightness. The profile is kept light and approachable, with a touch of residual sugar to enhance softness and drinkability. Positioned at entry-level, it offers a clean and consistent expression, prioritising ease of enjoyment and a fruit-forward character.
