in the vineyard : Fruit sourced from the Stellenbosch region. Cool Mediterranean climate with loamy clay soils. Vines are trellised on a 5 wire hedge system.

about the harvest: Selected Shiraz blocks were harvested quite (22ºB) early to preserve the primary fruit characters, fresh acidity and strawberry pink colour profile of the final product.

in the cellar : Fermentation takes place on the skins until desired colour is extracted – about 8-12 hours skin contact. The juice is separated from the skins and completes its primary fermentation in stainless steel tank at temperatures of 14 – 16°C. Hereafter, this Rosé is protein and cold stabilised and ready for bottling.
