All the vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs during July to August. Shoots were removed leaving only two to three per hand-spaced spur. During ripening season the green bunches were removed to ensure even ripeness in the remaining bunches.

about the harvest: In order to get the perfect colour for the Brampton Rose, the grapes were all hand harvested, thus minimising any potential colour extraction. Harvest was spread over a couple of weeks, from mid-February to the latter part of March.

in the cellar : To achieve the perfect colour for this Rose most of the juice was drained directly after crushing, some blocks receiving up to 2 hours of skin contact. Wines were fermented cold at around 14° C, thus making sure that the wines retain a delicate and fresh bouquet.
