in the vineyard : 
A Rosé made in a lighter style of summer drinking from our true South African grape variety Pinotage. The reason why we select Pinotage is for its tremendous fruit and lovely peach flavours.

The grapes used for this wine comes from 15 year old trellised vines planted in the Bottelary Hills. The vineyards are planted in decomposed granite.
about the harvest: Grapes are picked at a ripeness of around 22º Balling and the juice allowed skin contact with the grapes for a maximum of 6 hours.

in the cellar : The juice is separated from the skins and then inoculated with a homemade brew of yeast. It is fermented cold in stainless steel tanks over a period of 2 to 3 weeks at between 11 – 15ºC and left for a short while afterwards on its fermentation lees to extract even more flavour.
