THE INTERPRETER
Rosé
Our 2021 Montepulciano Rosé is intense and compact on the palate, dry and refreshing with a savory aftertaste that is appetising and food-friendly.
The Montepulciano is an Italian grape variety, which when grown in Eden Valley, creates a fruit driven lively palate of cherries and cranberries which gives away to a spicy aromatic finish.
Our winemaker, Jo Irvine, has carefully developed this rosé to be a luscious, crisp and dry style.
'The Interpreter' Rosé is names after our ancestor Heindrich Fiebiger, who, amongst many varied roles in the pioneering days, acted as an interpreter during public meetings when the locals petitioned the South Australian Governor to form a local council.

Background
We have named our wines after our ancestor Heinrich Fiebiger, and the many roles he undertook in the formative years of settlement in the region. Our “The Interpreter” Rosè is named after Heinrich’s valuable asset as translator for public meetings in those pioneering days. Our family have remained in Keyneton, part of the Eden Valley wine region for over 150 years.
The Vintage
The 2021 vintage was harvested on February, after conditions which provided a classic Montepulciano growing season. A wet winter was followed by a mild spring and summer which provided perfect ripening for our fruit.

Asian food is matched perfectly with the acidity and lime flavours of Rosè. Our favourite match is with the fresh and vibrant flavours from Vietnamese cuisine.
