in the vineyard : The vineyards lie 155m above sea level. The terroir of all four cultivars consists of decomposed granite. Four specific blocks were used for this alluring Rosé. With a maritime microclimate, the winters are wet and cold, and in summer the heat is tempered by a cool and fresh breeze from the Atlantic Ocean in False Bay.

in the cellar : The Merlot grapes were picked first followed by the Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre three weeks later. Grapes were picked early to retain as much fresh flavours as possible, crushed and followed by a soft pressing. The Merlot was wild fermented in tanks and the juice of the other three cultivars were added to the fermenting Merlot. It was clarified right after fermentation and bottled very early to ensure freshness.
