Douglas Green Rosé 2018

Pretty deep pink with a feint orange shimmer. Exuberant crushed summer berries, glacé cherries, Turkish delight and a delicate spiciness that carries through to a surge of redolently ripe berry flavours finishing with a delicious fruity intensity that is softly off dry and succulent.

An irresistible off dry rosé gushing with sociable likability almost anywhere, anytime but particularly delicious when enjoyed well chilled as the perfect summer wine. Enjoy outdoors at picnics, at the beach, at barbecues with smoked salmon and sushi, chicken salad or sweet and sour Chinese takeout.

"A pink explosion of juicy red berries from South Africa;s unique grape variety"
in the vineyard : This is according to Jaco Potgieter, winemaker at Douglas Green, who has been particularly blown away by the white wines this year. “The white wines are some of the best I’ve ever tasted,” says Jaco. “From the flavours to the mouthfeel and texture, harvest 2018 really surprised us all.”We picked at optimum ripeness to present gentle wines packed with varietal personality, grace and charm.
in the cellar : Every vineyard block is vinified separately in appointed cellars under the explicit direction of our Oenologist. Fermentation took place in stainless steel between 14°C - 16°C. 80% fermented on French oak staves for subtle oak nuances before racking. 10% fermented on American oak and the remaining component was left completely unoaked. The young wine was left on the fine lees for further complexity and integration before final blending and bottling at our cellars in Wellington.
