Production Details This premium rose is made in the same dry style as the famous roses of Provence, France. Grapes were hand-picked into lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. Great care was taken to minimise the amount of colour extraction from the grapes through gentle pressing, before overnight settling. Fermentation by indigenous yeast occurred spontaneously in 50% of the blend. The wine spent 5 months on the fine lees in a combination of stainless steel tanks (78%) and old French oak puncheons (22%) before being blended and bottled.
