in the vineyard : Crafted exclusively from 100% Cinsault, this Rosé captures the charm and character of the Stellenbosch and Paarl vineyards from which it originates. Each site was chosen for its ability to produce fruit with delicate aromatics and natural freshness. Throughout the season, the vines were given meticulous care – precise suckering and the selective removal of excess bunches focused the plant’s energy into only the healthiest shoots, encouraging even ripening and concentration of flavour ideal for premium rosé production.

about the harvest: Harvest took place at the precise moment when vibrant acidity and ripe fruit intensity were in perfect balance

in the cellar : After the grapes were gently crushed, the free-run juice was drawn off without delay, preserving the soft blush hue and delicate, fresh-fruit character that define this wine. The juice was allowed to settle overnight, after which slightly turbid juic e was carefully racked into stainless steel tanks for a cool, controlled fermentation.

This slow fermentation preserved the vibrant aromatics of the Cinsault, capturing notes of fresh berries and subtle floral tones. After fermentation the wine was left to on its fine lees for two months, adding a silky texture and gentle complexity, before being bottled to retain its crisp, lively charm.
