Blaauwklippen House of Zin Rosé 2026

Blaauwklippen House of Zin Rosé 2026 is a Zinfandel rosé with a delicate rose gold colour. Creamed strawberries and lemon curd notes combine with lush blood orange, biscotti and peach aromas on the nose. A textured mineral core, with a pithy and zesty acidity lead to a lush and creamy luminous finish.

The wine pairs well with all seafood and light curry dishes. It is also the perfect accompaniment to summer gatherings.

in the vineyard : The Zinfandel blocks (planted 1991 and 2001) are planted wide (2,5m x 1,4m) on medium potential soils namely Tukulu and Kroonstad, with a seven-wire Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis system & using drip irrigation. All the vineyards are around 90m above sea level. Annual production varies between 6 to 8 tons per hectare. The Malbec grapes originated from a block planted on Klapmuts soil (planted at 1,8m x 1.0m), all with vertical shoot positioning (VSP) trellis systems. The clones MC26 and MC71 were used and all blocks are under drip irrigation. Annual yield is between 7 and 10 tons/ha.
about the harvest: The grapes were handpicked in the vineyards.
in the cellar : Handpicked and vineyard sorted grapes were transported to the cellar for immediate processing. Very light whole bunch pressing of the grapes ensured optimal flavour extraction and minimal colour extraction. The juice cold settled for 20 hours and was racked to stainless steel tanks. Cold alcoholic fermentation ensured the preservation of the wine’s floral and pure fruit aromatics. Post fermentation stirring of the lees for 2 months, added great mouthfeel, texture and depth to this wine.
