Heins Family Wines Dry Rose 2022

The dry rose was hand harvested and made in stainless steel tanks

The grapes were hand harvested from various blocks on the farm grown on Estcourt and Clovelly soils

This wine drinks well now, but can be further cellared for another year or two if stored in the correct conditions.

85% Shiraz grapes and 15 % Cabernet Sauvignon grapes

Lovely with spicy food and pairs stunningly with curry mince samosa with a mustard and honey aioli.

De Clapmuts Farm originated as a halfway station between Cape Town and Paarl/Franschhoek and was used as a cattle outpost by the Dutch East India Company. After the succession of the British Colonial Government, Governor Sir George Yonge appointed William Duckitt to conduct agricultural experiments on De Clapmuts Farm in 1799. Thereafter the farm was sold twice to private owners – to Captain John Piggot Watney in 1821 and two years later to Philippus Albertus Cloete. In 1946 the farm was bought by Hermann Heinrich Paul Heins. Hermann’s father was a German immigrant, and the proud German heritage trickled down through the Heins generations. Today the fourth generation is farming with the focus on premium quality wine grapes as well as excellent quality pork meats. We strive to uphold our family values of integrity, tradition, and dignity.
