Watershed "Shades" Rose - 2007

Watershed

Winery Story

Watershed is responsible for the largest initial planting of vines in the emerging Western Australia region. Increasingly known around the w... (more...)orld for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Chardonnay, this region is one of the coolest wine growing regions in Australia. Watershed owns 280 acres of vines in what's known as the "dress circle" of the Margaret River wineries — the very middle. The site was selected after extensive testing determined that its soils had the best capacity to produce premium quality wine.

Tasting Note

The definition of watershed is 'to go to a new (higher) level of understanding; an awakening'. A second meaning is ‘a high area of land be... (more...)tween two bodies of water'. Both meanings are appropriate to Watershed Premium Wines. The Watershed label was designed by Roland Butcher and incorporates a purple room with a four paned window on the wall. Green vines can be seen looking out of the window, however, the main focus is a ray of light streaming through the glass and diffusing across the floor, symbolizing a human being’s ‘stream of consciousness’ - a creative but almost uncontrollable thought process, spurred on by small inspirations, all leading to a final revelation, or awakening.Displaying lifted aromas of strawberries and cream, this fruit-driven wine is completed with subtle hints of raspberries and a fresh, soft finish.
