Pinotage Rose Wine

This off-dry rosé has a fresh tropical bouquet with hints of cherries. Enticingly floral and complex on the palate with tones of peaches and honey on the finish. The grapes for this wine were selected from a single vineyard of Pinotage grapes. This vineyard is planted in a sandy loam soil and is situated right up against the foot of the Du Toitskloof Mountains.

Here the morning sun reaches it late and the afternoon shadows reach it early, creating an ideal cool climate. The grapes were harvested at full ripeness and picked early in the morning to ensure that the grapes reach the winery while still cool. After crushing the grapes the juice was left on the skins for five hours to gain colour.

The free run juice was then drawn off the skins and chilled in a tank. The wine was then cold fermented at 13° C so as to maintain the fruity flavours of the grape in the wine.
