DESCRIPTION
IN THE VINEYARD:
The grapes are from trellised Fairview vineyards planted on decomposed granite soils in Paarl.
HARVEST DATE:
Harvested on different dates from mid-January to mid-February 2017
WINEMAKING:
The Shiraz, Gamay Noir, Grenache Noir, Mourvedre were picked between 21 – 23 degree Balling and gently pressed and cold fermented. The varieties were fermented separately, after which they were blended and left on fine lees before bottling.
WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS:
Although rosé is often viewed as a fun and easy drinking wine, it can be one of the more rewarding wines to make. The most challenging part is knowing when to take the juice off the skins, as this determines the intensity and brightness of the colour, which also has a direct impact on the tannin structure and ultimately the drinkability of the wine. A well-balanced rosé is one of my favourite food wines, complementing the widest range of dishes. Best enjoyed young.
