Beautiful pale salmon pink with shades of violet in colour, this rosé belies an enticingly floral nose perfumed with sweet aromas of candy floss, raspberry and strawberry. The delightfully enticing nose precedes a sweet entry that dries out on the palate into crisp flavours of elegant red berry before finishing with a soft but sumptuous zesty acidity.

Produced from 50% Pinotage, which is renowned for producing some of the finest fruit driven Rosés in the country, and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon which provides enduring structure and acidity. The grapes are carefully handpicked between 20 and 22.5 °B to before being destalked and crushed with skin contact of approximately 1 – 2 hours for a lighter style wine. It was then pressed, settled and racked before being cold fermented at 14°C, keeping the wine fresh, fruity and accessible with a lower alcohol content and generous fruity aromas.
