Ada Mad Hattie 2024

Ada Wine Co., celebrated for its creative and contemporary approach to winemaking, brings a fresh perspective to South Australian wines. The Mad Hattie Rosé 2024 exemplifies this ethos, offering a vibrant and characterful rosé crafted with precision and flair. Made from a blend of Grenache and Pinot noir, this rosé is sourced from cool-climate vineyards in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills, regions renowned for producing expressive, fruit-driven wines.

The 2024 vintage enjoyed moderate conditions, allowing the grapes to retain bright acidity while developing lively, concentrated flavours. Gentle pressing and minimal skin contact during production give the wine its delicate colour and fresh, aromatic profile.

Appearance: Pale salmon pink with a slight coral hue, shimmering with clarity and elegance.

Aroma: The nose is fresh and inviting, with vibrant notes of wild strawberry, watermelon, and red cherry. Subtle floral hints of rose petals and orange blossom are complemented by a delicate touch of citrus zest and wet stone minerality.

Taste: Light-bodied and refreshing, the palate is brimming with flavours of juicy red berries, such as raspberry and cranberry, balanced by a lively citrus backbone of grapefruit and lemon. A whisper of herbal complexity adds depth, while crisp acidity ensures the wine remains bright and zesty.

Finish: The finish is clean and invigorating, with lingering notes of red fruit and a delicate mineral edge, leaving a vibrant and mouthwatering impression.

Food Pairing: Mad Hattie Rosé 2024 is a perfect match for fresh seafood platters, such as oysters or prawns, where its acidity and citrus notes enhance the natural sweetness of the seafood. It also pairs wonderfully with a Mediterranean-style salad featuring roasted vegetables, feta, and pomegranate, complementing the dish’s vibrant and savoury elements.
