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 Cinsaut 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: A warm and dry winter preceded the 2023 harvest, with even building occurring slightly earlier than the previous year. The warm conditions continued throughout the growing season, which eventually led to an overall lighter crop in most regions. Heavy rains early in December brought great relief and ensured that the vines were in good condition leading up to harvest. For most part of the season, conditions were ideal and the quality of fruit outstanding. Unusually high and continuous rainfall in March created some challenges for later ripening regions and varietals, Overall, a great quality vintage that promised to deliver some outstanding wines.

WINEMAKING: This premium rosé is made in the same dry style as the great rosé wines of Provence, France. Grapes were hand-picked into lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. Great care was taken to minimise the amount of colour extraction from the grapes through gentle pressing, before overnight settling. Spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeast lasted between 2 to 4 weeks in both stainless steel and older French oak barrels (14%). The wine spent 4 months on the fine lees before being blended and bottled.

TASTING NOTES: Soft floral cherry and blueberry nose. The palate Is reminiscent of a fruit salad with its apple, melon, berries, cherries and strawberry flavours. All at peak ripeness, rounded but balanced by bright acid. Overall, there is good focus and body with a long, leesy tail that adds another textural nuance.
