in the vineyard : The differences in altitude, aspect, solar radiation and wind exposure result in significant mesoclimate differences over a short distance. This, coupled with variations in soil (mainly Escourt), creates terroir that ensures full and complex wines with unique character and style.

in the cellar : The organically grown Shiraz grapes used in this organic rosé were harvested by hand early in the morning in 8 kg lug boxes in two intervals. This ensured we could utilise the natural higher acidity found in the grapes we harvested at the beginning, as well as the fuller complexity of grapes harvested in the latter half of the harvest period. Hand sorting followed pre-cooling and the grapes were whole bunch pressed with no skin contact given. A low-intervention approach was used throughout the winemaking process. The natural yeast flora of the grapes completed the fermentation in a combination of French oak barrels and ceramic eggs in a temperature-controlled environment. The wine was bottled unfiltered and may deposit a natural sediment.
