The 2015 Philip Shaw Orange Pink Billy Saignée has a beautifully
simple label in textured white paper with a pink 'Billy' in running writing. (Unfortunately
there's a naked woman on the back, something like old French nudes – but not
enough like them!) The label does not name the grape/s (which is annoying), except
for 'the use of our best red', but the website info is that Shiraz and Merlot
predominate, with small amounts of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon,
coming from the Koolmooloo vineyard with an altitude above 900 m. It's tomato
in colour, tinged by orange bronze. Orange is in the perfume, with cinnamon,
and ending in strawberry. Very Marella jube in flavour. Not necessarily a great
Rosé that'd I'd look out for again.
