in the vineyard : Fruit sourced from the Stellenbosch region. Cool Mediterranean climate with loamy clay soils. Vines are trellised on a 5 wire hedge system.

about the harvest: Selected Pinotage blocks were harvested quite early to preserve the primary fruit characters and fresh acidity of the final product (22° B). The Shiraz is picked about two weeks later which will add mainly to the strawberry pink colour profile, and a rounder palate and aftertaste.

in the cellar : Fermentation takes place on the skins until desired colour is extracted - about 8 - 12 hours skin contact. The juice is separated from the skins and completes its primary fermentation in stainless steel tank at temperatures of 14° - 16° C. Hereafter, this Rosé is protein and cold stabilised and ready for bottling.
