Asara Rosé 2012

Name: Asara Rosé 2012
Brand: Asara
SKU: 30754

This Rosé has an attractive, rosebud pink blush that signifies the use of only red grapes and most probably a feminine touch! The nose is delicate, with aromas of cranberry and sweet water melon. Bursting wild cherry flavours lingers on the palate with a soft finish of crisp acidity and a pleasurable aftertaste.

about the harvest: We harvested this single Pinotage vineyard block early on the morning of 25 January 2012. Berries were hand selected in small crates and rushed to the cellar to be processed.

in the cellar : The grape bunches were crushed and destemmed before allowing a short period of skin contact in the press. Fermentation of the juice took place in a stainless steel tank for duration of sixteen days. The wine was left on the lees for three weeks to build the palate. The Rosé Pinotage 2012 was bottled on the 5th of March.
