Production Details The preceding winter in the Western Cape was one of the wettest on record, with flooding and damaging winds in September, leading to smaller yields in the coastal regions. The hot and dry conditions that followed during the growing season caused an unusually early and frantic start to a fast-paced vintage but also resulted in excellent flavor development and concentration in the fruit. Overall, it was a high-quality vintage that promises to deliver outstanding wines. A premium, elegant rose crafted in the style of Provence, France. The individual parcels were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight. Only the finest quality free-run juice, with minimal color extraction, was selected and settled prior to spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeast in stainless steel tanks and older French oak barrels (12%). The wine spent two months on fine lees before being blended and bottled.
