Golden Plains Rosé: Taking home the trophy

At Provenance Wines, we’ve always believed that great wine tells a story—a story of place, craftsmanship, and the people who bring it all together. This week, our story reached a proud milestone, as our 2023 Golden Plains Rosé was awarded the inaugural Rosé Trophy at the 2024 Geelong Wine Show.

Crafted using the saignée method, this dry and pale rosé captures the vibrant essence of the Golden Plains region. Saignée, derived from the French term meaning "to bleed," involves delicately drawing off free-run juice from our red grape ferments. This technique lends the wine its luminous hue and purity of flavour, showcasing the beautiful balance between elegance and intensity that we strive for in every bottle.

Our 2023 Golden Plains Rosé is a refreshing delight, with aromas of wild strawberries, watermelon, and a hint of citrus zest. On the palate, it’s light yet lively, with a crisp acidity that makes it the perfect partner for an afternoon in the sunshine or paired with fresh, summery dishes.

What truly sets this rosé apart is its value for money. We’ve always aimed to create wines that are both approachable and exceptional, winning the Best Value Winery in the 2019 Halliday Wine Companion and this award reinforces that we’re on the right track.

Winning this trophy is a testament to the hard work of our team and the quality of the fruit grown in this incredible region. We’re thrilled to see the Geelong Wine Show shining a spotlight on rosé, a style that continues to grow in popularity and versatility.

We invite you to share in our success and celebrate the flavours of the Golden Plains. The 2023 Golden Plains Rosé is now available for purchase either via our website or your local independent retailer—make sure you grab a bottle (or two!) and taste why it’s a trophy-winner.

Cheers!
