AWARDS
2009 WINE Magazine - 3½ stars, highest rated Rosé in South Africa
in the vineyard : The outstanding quality of 2009 harvest will ensure that it goes down in history as one of South Africa's best. Lower yields and intensely concentrated flavours from extremely healthy grapes meant that producers throughout the winelands are delighted with the results.

The cooler ripening season - very cold and wet winter with late September rains - caused the harvest to start two weeks later than usual.
about the harvest: The grapes where 100% hand picked in the refreshing hours of the early morning from selected vineyards on the Helshoogte Mountain.
in the cellar : The grapes receive a 3 hour skin contact to acquire the perfect salmon pink colour. The grapes were gently pressed, fermented for almost 3weeks at 12° C and then left on primary lees for 6 weeks post fermentation. The wine is made in same style as the Sauvignon Blanc to maintain the lovely fresh fruit characters.
