Golden Kaan Shiraz Rose 2012

This invigorating and elegant rosé has floral and strawberry aromas on the nose. Flavours of red berries are carried through on the palate along with a subtle, soft sweetness and a crisp, lingering finish.

This wine can be enjoyed on its own or with salmon dishes, fresh salads and a variety of cheese, especially goat's cheese.

in the vineyard : The winter preceding the 2012 vintage was characterized by far lower than average rainfall. This trend continued into the summer, resulting in vineyards showing signs of lower soil moisture by way of the reduced berry size and bunch weight. A cooler ripening season with even temperatures led to steady and measured ripening of the grapes. Overall, the smaller berry size and lower yields promise great concentration, good quality and intense colour of the 2012 vintage wines.

in the cellar : Maturation: none
