Steenberg Ruby Rose 2021

This pale, coral pink dry Rosé delivers subtle fragrances of boysenberry jelly, watermelon sorbet, candied apples, red liquorice candy, ripe sweet melon and fresh garden herbs on the nose. The wine shows off a fresh palate with notes of juicy raspberry, wild strawberry and spiced stone fruit. This wine is light and flirty, yet shows great depth and lingers considerably on the palate.

The perfect drink for all happy occasions.

The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning and whole-bunch pressed with a champagne pressing cycle to extract a pale and delicate juice. Harvest Date: February 2021
Yield: 8 ton/ha

in the cellar : The Syrah juices were fermented separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and protect the primary
characteristics of the varietal. The juices were inoculated with neutral yeast strains and underwent a cool fermentation (13-15°C) for about 21 days.
The wine underwent a light fining and was bottled in mid-June 2021.
