Rietvallei Juanita Rosé 2005

SA Young Wine Show Class Winner for 2005
The Juanita RosÃ© is a very fruity dry RosÃ© made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. A mixture of berry fruit flavours explode on the nose while the palate revelas a full-bodied wine and lingering aftertaste... A RosÃ© not to be taken lightly.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked at 25Âº Balling.

in the cellar : After destemming and slight crushing the mash was taken to stainless steel tanks where it cold-soaked for 36 hours. The juice was then taken from the skins and allowed to cold-ferment at an average temperature of 15ÂºC until dry.
