Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi collection: Nagambie Mourvedre Rosé 2021
WINE PROFILE
Situated behind the picturesque Goulburn River precinct near Nagambie, Mitchelton winery is home to Australia’s largest commercial Aboriginal art gallery, The Mitchelton Gallery of Aboriginal Art, which currently features Gabriella’s Possum Nungurrayi works.
Featuring the talented artists’ original works on a range of limited wines all produced from fruit sourced across three of Mitchelton’s vineyards – in Nagambie, Yarra Valley and Heathcote.
Gabriella’s use of colour is some of the most vivid, and her strong connection to Country and her father, with whom she would paint, wander and share stories, are depicted in painted stories such as Bush Tucker, Women’s Ceremonies and Seven Sisters Dreaming.
TASTING NOTES
Lovely Salmon pink in colour, with layered aromas of blueberry, strawberry, and cream. Vibrant and appealing fresh soft red berry fruits. The red berry notes develop intensity on the palate, with the wine being a lovely medium bodied rose. The structure is soft with a lovely fruit sweetness on an extended clean and crisp finish.
