AWARDS
2022 Rosé Rocks - Gold
in the vineyard : 100% Cinsault grapes were used to create this Rose. The grapes were harvested from old parcels of vineyards in the Stellenbosch and Perdeberg areas. With efficient suckering and the removal of excess bunches, only the strongest shoots were left bearing grapes to facilitate optimum ripening. The grapes were harvested at the perfect time to ensure a delicate balance of ripe flavours and fresh acidity is achieved.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested from three old parcels of vineyards in the Stellenbosch and Perdeberg areas. These grapes were harvested to ensure the perfect balance of ripe flavours and fresh acidity.

in the cellar : After crushing the grapes were left on the skins for 2 hours to extract the desired colour and flavours before the free run juice was drained
and transferred for fermentation. The juice was fermented at 13 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation was completed, the wine was aged on the lees for one month before bottling.
