Zevenwacht 7even Rosé 2022

Cotton candy pink in colour the nose expresses fresh cranberry, strawberries and ruby grapefruit with a hint of rose petal. The palate is juicy with succulent red fruit and fresh acidity. A delicious lifestyle wine, elegant and soft.

Terrific for a lunch time salad, pizza with friends or as the perfect picnic wine.

Zevenwacht Wine Estate, situated on the beautiful Stellenbosch Wine Route is a modern wine farm with a 300 year history. Owned and managed by the Johnson Family, the Estate has a strong commitment to historic and cultural preservation, as well as conservation of the surrounding indigenous environment. Two prime farming locations provide the grapes for the Zevenwacht winery. The home vineyard on the Estate’s panoramic 450 hectare maritime influenced property, supplies the majority of the grapes. The farm Zevenrivieren, situated at the crest of the Helshoogte Pass, provides winemaker, Hagen Viljoen, with a boutique selection of grapes that add to the fascinating variety of the wines.

in the vineyard : The Cabernet Franc grapes are harvested from our SW facing slopes on decomposed granite soils of the Polkadraai Hills.

about the harvest: The grapes for our Rosé were picked at 22 degrees Brix.

in the cellar : The grapes were crushed, separated from the skins, settled, racked and fermented the same as white wine. The wine was fermented cold, 12-14 degrees Celsius to retain fresh red fruit aromas. The delicate pink colour for the Rose is derived from the red pigments that are released during the crushing process.
