Solms-Delta Rosé 2015

The wine has a focused palate, supported by concentrated fruit and a mineral core. The nose shows bright red fruit with raspberry, strawberry and apple notes. Alluring light salmon colour.

It’s an ideal lunch-time wine, and a perfect partner for smoked salmon, poultry, cold ham and nutty-style hard cheeses.

Label Detail
Celebrating Solms-Delta’s rich history, this wine is nicknamed “Lekkerwijn”. The back label tells the story of the farm adjoining Delta, now largely incorporated into it. The first owner, Henri l’Ecrévent, was granted the property in 1690. Locals, unable to pronounce his name, solved the problem by dubbing him Arie Lekkerwijn. He was slain nine years later by the first owner of Delta, Hans Silberbach, who then took flight and was never seen again.

in the cellar :

The grapes were given overnight skin contact to extract colour and flavour and then gently pressed to extract only the best juice. The wine was then tank fermented at cool temperatures to optimise fruit expression.

Maturation: The wine was aged on the lees in tank for 6 months.
