ageing : This youthful and vibrant wine is best enjoyed early while still fresh and crisp.
in the vineyard : Trellised and bush vine Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Coastal Region were purposefully grown to produce our high-quality Rosé. With supplemented irrigation, the well-drained vineyards planted in weathered shale soils, produced 12 tons per hectare.
2019 experienced average rainfall that ensured normal growing conditions.
about the harvest: Approximately 50% of the harvest was brought in under mild and moderate growing conditions. The two components for the rosé were picked during the earlier part of the harvest.
in the cellar : Produced from 50% Pinotage, renowned for producing fine fruit-driven Rosé, and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, providing structure and acidity. Grapes were handpicked between 20°B and 22.5°B before destalking and crushing. One to two hours skin contact allows for a lighter style wine, followed by settling and racking prior to cold fermentation at 14°C.
