about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at 24˚B for optimal fruit expression.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested at 23˚B for optimal fruit expression. The light pink rosé colour was obtained by allowing minimal skin contact of the Merlot grapes. For the Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon components, saignee was drawn from the red tanks. Cold fermentation took place after which the wine spent a few months on fine lees. Gentle fining and filtration was done prior to bottling.

Bottled: October 2018
