ageing : Best enjoyed in the freshness of youth or within 2 years of vintage

in the vineyard : The vineyards were pruned to two-bud spurs during July and August. Shoots were removed, leaving only 2 to 3 per hand-spaced spur. In order to get the perfect colour for the Brampton Rosé, the grapes from Franschhoek, Paarl and Stellenbosch were all hand-harvested, thus minimising any potential colour extraction.

about the harvest: A healthy harvest was spread over a couple of weeks, from midFebruary to the latter part of March.

in the cellar : To achieve the perfect colour for this Rosé, most of the juice was drained directly after crushing, with grapes from some vineyards receiving up to 2 hours of skin contact. Wines were fermented cold at around 14°C, ensuring that they retain a delicate and fresh bouquet.
