Why we like it
This rosé expresses the most delicate side of Pinotage. Fresh, elegant and versatile, it retains the fruity character of the grape without compromising on balance and drinkability.

In the vineyard
In the vineyard
The grapes come from the Coastal Region, from Pinotage vineyards aged between 5 and 15 years, cultivated on decomposed granite and Hutton soils. The vines benefit from supplementary irrigation and produce yields of approximately 8 tons per hectare, fostering a perfect balance between freshness and aromatic intensity.
In the cellar
In the cellar
The grapes were immediately crushed and pressed to limit color extraction and preserve aromatic finesse. Fermentation took place at a low temperature (13°C) until completion, followed by three months of aging on the lees before bottling, which adds creaminess and complexity.
