Raka Rosé 2016

Appearance: Bright clear in colour with an orange tinge
Bouquet & Palate: The aromas are complex. Rich flavours of prunes and crushed strawberry, complimented by hints of honey. The same characters carries through on the palate with a refreshing crisp, sweetish finish.

Good for sundowners or enjoy with light meals. Served well chilled, this wine is well suited to any seafood, pasta, salads and cold meats. Also delightful on its own!

about the harvest: All grapes were hand picked.

in the cellar : All grapes were sorted before being crushed directly in to the tanks where skin contact is allowed for 4 hours. 6% - 15% of each variety were extracted and inoculated with pure yeast cultures to optimize fermentation at around 16° C. The wine was allowed to naturally clarify under gravity prior to filtering and bottling.
