An alluring pale pink hue, born from the most delicate skin contact during winemaking, our Eden Valley Shiraz Rosé is as juicy as nature intended, with bright, fresh generosity of ripe fruits.
“It’s delightfully fruited and inviting on the nose, showing sweet strawberry, rockmelon, Gala apple and spring flower aromas, leading to a finely textured palate that’s ripe and rounded. Elegant and refreshing, offering charming drinking.” 92 Points | Wine Orbit – Sam Kim

Summer berries are always a welcomed feature of our Rosé- the 2022 vintage being no different. Combine Jewel strawberries with fresh Afourer mandarin and a tropical ripple across the palate, our Tru-Su Rosé has superb length and is refreshingly dry.

“A good commercial style with candied fruit aromas and sweet upfront red berry flavours.”
90 Points | Winefolio – David Walker-Bell
“A single vineyard wine, made from Shiraz. A pale rose petal pink in the glass, with aromas of raspberry, melon, apple and jasmine florals. Bright, elegant and polished into the palate, where a buoyant acidity highlights the juicy fruit. Spice and a little fruit tannin add complexity, but it’s not a difficult or intellectual wine – just open and enjoy, with lunch or as an aperitif.” ~Jul 2023~
Review | By The Glass – Yvonne Lorkin
“The name might be a mashup of Trudi and Susan, daughters of founders Trevor and Marilyn Harch, yet the wine is very much a pure offering. Crafted from shiraz grown in their Eden Valley vineyard by winemaker Joanne Irvine, it has an attractive melon and raspberry razzle on the nose, and a soft, elegantly dry mouthfeel. Plush, lush and licked with peppercorn and soft spices, it’s a fresh, clean rosé with excellent length of flavour.”

2016 – 90 Points | Mike Bennie, Wine Business Magazine: Crowd-pleasing kind of wine here, and it’s set around a sweet-fruit strawberries-and-cream feel. The perfume shows exactly that, while the palate is strawberry kissed but perks up with a zingy finish. Worth a visit.

Our 2022 vintage felt quite drawn out, but funnily enough, it was not as long as last year; in 2021 harvest happened over nine weeks whereas this year was only six.
Our 2022 vintage was set up really well with good rain through winter and spring (2021) to replenish soil moisture after a particularly dry Autumn. And despite the challenges of hailstorms in October 2021; reducing our healthy young shoots to shreds, the vineyard has pulled off an amazing feat, led by our viticulturist Joel. The fruit we have produced is a testament to the arduous work Joel and the team put in year-round and especially off the back of the storms. At the time we thought we had lost it all…
Outside of the storms, the shoots regrew, albeit delayed. We didn’t experience intense heat over summer, which didn’t assist the vines, nor fruit in catching up, however the wait was worth it!
Harvest officially started on Wednesday 23rd March under overcast skies. We picked our Riesling for Mack’s 1896 Riesling. We were sure we would not have any Riesling as Mack’s vines were hit hardest. Another two weeks later, our Pinot Gris for our fan favourite On Point Pinot Grigio was picked on a warm 24 degree Autumn day. Easter was spent recovering from picking some superb Shiraz, and under the cover of darkness we picked our Chardonnay -our last white variety- and a small parcel of Pinot Noir on ANZAC Day.
At the end of April, we had unexpected rain over night, but luckily it didn’t put a dampener on things. We picked a little Shiraz from our stunning old vines on the home block, in front of the homestead; we got wetter than the grapes did. Fast forward to Tuesday 3 May and our fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon from our Gunyah block in front of the cellar door came in, as well as our special Grenache. This will be hot property, as while the fruit was outstanding, there isn’t a lot of it. From there it was over to Jo and Shawn to guide our beautiful fruit from the vine, to the wine you and I have come to know and love.
We are confident the wines from our 2022 vintage are superb and can’t wait to share them all with you.
