Style Rose
Producer Tomfoolery Wines
Origin Barossa Valley, Bethany
Bottle 750ml
Caravan buyer note

100% Cabernet Franc sourced from a premium single vineyard on the border of Bethany and Vine Vale in the Barossa Valley, grown by sixth-generation grape growers the Hage family on a flat site of varying depths of sand and sandy loams over red clays and shale at 316 metres above sea level. Handpicked at optimum ripeness, gently destemmed to keep as many whole berries as possible, then soaked on skins for 12-24 hours to capture the essence of the fruit with fine tannins before being gently pressed and fermented. Elegantly subtle rose pink in colour. The bouquet shows grenadine and raspberry aromas with aromatic rosehip high notes and subtle cinnamon spice. Crisp, dry and refreshing on the palate with wild strawberries, redcurrants and rose petal florals, balanced by juicy acidity and finishing with a hint of vanilla spice.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.
