The Ruins Rose 2007

This is a very modern and stylish Rosé with a vibrant clear red colour.  The prominent red raspberry, strawberry and Frambois flavours are backed by a fresh, intensely fruit-driven, and accessible palate that makes this wine the ideal companion to lazy, sunny afternoon’s with friends and family.  Enjoy now; well chilled to an average of 13ºC.

Vinification:
Made from 100% Pinotage. Early morning machine harvested at 21.5º B, crushed and de-stemmed and cooled down to 10ºC in a stainless steel tank.
After 24 hours of cold skin maceration the free running juice was drawn off and settled to clarify before racking it to ferment cold at 13ºC average to retain the prominent berry flavours and freshness.  After fermentation the wine was clarified, stabilized and cold filtered, ready for bottling
