Pair with duck, salmon, or mushroom risotto. Drink now through 2030.

Aroma

Bright blue fruits lead the nose, lifted by oak spice and a touch of blood orange and Campari from the whole bunch component.

Palette

Bright blue fruits with oak spice, crunchy bright acid entry with blue fruits giving density on the palate. Chocolate notes.

Pairings

Pairs well with duck, game, or a mushroom-based dish, matching the wine's spice and concentration with equally robust flavours.

Wine Making

Fruit was picked on the 2nd April and fermented in two portions, one was a small batch 100% whole bunch and the remainder 100% destemmed. The ferments were pressed off on the 15th of April to oak. Fermented to dryness and left over winter before going through malolactic fermentation. Racked out of barrel after 10 months in barrel, no filtering with minimal sulfur added.

Meet the owners

Rush Wines is the very personal project of Sam Rush, who swapped a forensic chemistry degree for a life in vineyards after a few years working in hospitality sparked his interest in wine. After honing his craft in the Hunter Valley and then across some of Tasmania's most respected producers, including Delamere and Stefano Lubiana, Sam launched his own label in the Tamar Valley in 2021. Made with minimal intervention and no cellar door in sight, Rush wines are sold online and around Launceston, made by a Rush, not in a rush.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
