Notes of red fruit aromas like pomegranate, strawberry and cranberry with nuances of candy floss and floral notes add to the complexity.

Characteristics
Medium bodied Rosé Wine. Fruit driven and elegant.
Tasting Notes
Attractive rose-gold colour. This lovely rosé has an attractive “fresh cut flower” bouquet, with a strawberry undertone. The palate is layered and creamy, yet refreshing. A lovely drink for any occasion.
In the Vineyard
Soil: Low yielding, well drained vertical shale/schist
Yield: 8.2 tons/Ha
Aspect: West-North-West
Harvest
Grapes were night harvested and picked by hand to retain flavours.
Cellar Practices
Grapes were crushed, destemmed and given a two-hour maceration before being pressed. Only the best quality juice, with the softest shade of pink colour was used. The juice was cold fermented in a stainless-steel tank for 3 weeks in order to preserve its freshness and attractive Rosé flavours. The wine was kept on fermentation lees for 3 months to add some creaminess to the palate.
Ageing Potential
5 years after vintage, but should give more pleasure if consumed now.
Serving Temperature
Recommended to be served at 10°C – 12°C.
