The Wine: Pale salmon in colour, this wine presents attractive aromas of plum and raspberry with a delicate hint of citrus zest.

Beyond its delicious flavour, it offers a lovely mouthfeel and texture, with an appealing fleshiness. There is a light grip and good body from some lees influence, creating a pleasing harmony of fruit and acid vibrance. The finish reveals citrus notes and an attractive defined dryness.

The Vineyard: Riebeeksrivier farm is situated on the slopes of the Kasteelberg, overlooking the Swartland towards iconic Table Mountain. Its unique terroir, especially the shale soils, expresses itself strongly in the wine with unique varietal characteristics. The vines for this blend are all planted on south-facing slopes at elevations of 350 – 400m above sea level. The Cinsault and Grenache bush vines were planted in 1990 and 2017 respectively, and the higher density échalas trellised (vines trained on its own wooden stake) Shiraz vineyard was planted in 2011.
VINTAGE NOTES: The preceding winter in the Western Cape was one of the wettest on record, with disastrous 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 flavour development and concentration in the fruit. Overall, it was a high-quality vintage that promises to deliver outstanding wines.
WINEMAKING: A premium, elegant rosé crafted in the style of Provence, France. The individual parcels were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight. Only the fi nest 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.
