2023 Manon 'Farm Rosato'

About The Wine

"Farm Rosato is a cuvée from our farm that has always felt so right for us. We have never had a year where we have not been impressed by how it has become. No vintage will ever be the same but generally it is all the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot that we can gather on the farm, all held in balance by Pinot Noir juice - the Pinot giving a big round fruity hug to the more austere, delicate and perfumed notes of the others. This 2023 Farm Rosato is a bright, fruitful expression owing to our fantastic growing season with a pleasant alpine structure." - Monique, Manon Farms

About Manon 

Tim and Monique have spent the past decade transforming their slice of Peramangk land into a thriving regenerative ecosystem at Manon Farm. What began as a conventional vineyard has evolved into something far more profound under their stewardship—a living demonstration of what's possible when winemaking aligns with ecological principles. They've meticulously removed all artificial irrigation and fertigation systems, retrained 35-year-old vines to flourish on nature's rhythms alone, and created a biodiverse haven where native bees have returned, heritage orchards flourish, and kangaroos graze harmoniously across their rocky ridge. Their approach extends beyond the vineyard into carefully tended gardens for medicine and food, while their commitment to soil health has produced countless batches of energized compost and herbal fermentations that feed the earth beneath their feet.

Every wine from Manon Farm carries the literal fingerprints of its makers—Tim and Monique handle each bottle from vine to cellar door with unwavering dedication to hand-crafted authenticity. They prune, tend, harvest, and stomp their grapes by foot before moving the wine by gravity alone, refusing to compromise their vision with industrial shortcuts. This intimate scale allows them to create wines that truly express each season's story, whether navigating the wettest years on record or adapting to unprecedented drought. While raising two nature-loving boys alongside their collection of chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats, they've proven that exceptional winemaking isn't just about technique—it's about creating a complete way of life that honours both the land and the wines it produces.
