Rimfire Tinta
A truly wonderful wine for sipping on long, hot summer nights, Rimfire's increasingly popular rosé-style Tinta has characters of blackcurrant, black pepper and raspberry. The spicy fruit flavours are balanced with a lovely mouth feel and acidity to make Rimfire Tinta very easy to drink - glass after glass! Enjoy with friends over barbecued seafood or Thai cuisine.

The effortless vivacity of rosé is very deceptive; a great deal of wine making expertise is required. Grapes are crushed and as the juice separates from the skin and seeds, it picks up some of the pigmentation from the skins. This gives the juice a rose or pink colour. Because the juice has limited contact to the skins and seeds, which give the wine structure and tannin, rosé is a soft, easy-to-drink wine lovely served chilled.

If you enjoyed our Tinta try our deliciously fragrant Aleatico, crafted in vin gris style as a white wine from rare red Italian Muscat grapes.

Rimfire Country Rose

Light, fresh and fruity, Country Rose captures the ripe, luscious musk, cherry and red berry aromas of red Muscat from the Rimfire vineyard. A popular, easy-drinking style, Country Rose weaves a warm tangled web of soft tannin and vibrantly rich fruit flavours of raspberry, plum and spiced cherry on the front palate. The lingering flavour is reminiscent of Turkish delight. Country Rose was made to be consumed within two years of vintage - to be enjoyed as an aperitif with soft creamy cheese and strawberries or for lazy afternoon drinks beside the pool.

If you enjoyed our Country Rose try Rimfire's refreshingly aromatic white wine style Pioneer White.
