JD Rossouw managed to source this block of organically farmed, dry grown bush-vine Cinsault.
The fruit was picked at a ripeness optimal for this rosé’s natural acidity, in the cool of dawn and then trucked up the road to Wildeberg. The fruit harvested just made a full single press, which was then gently squeezed to old French oak demi-muids for natural fermentation. The colour comes just from that light press and spends no further time on skins.
It has a lovely delicate salmon pink colour (comes in a cool looking shaped bottle too) with fresh crushed red fruits on the nose confirmed on the palate with refreshing acidity and nicely balanced alcohol at only 11% vol.
