In the cellar
Harvested from south facing vineyards on the Weltevreden Estate at optimal ripeness, where the natural acidity is
retained. The grapes were taken into the cellar and the whole bunches were pressed, using only the free-run juice to make this pale coloured Rose. The juice was inoculated with yeast, and fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with some
lees contact to add mouthfeel and body.
In the vineyard
Harvest 2022 was about 2 weeks later than normal. We had a proper cold winter with enough rain, that resulted in budbreak
that was 2 weeks late. The earlier part of the season was quite cool, with December showing lower maximum and minimum temperatures. January was more moderate with a couple of hot days.The slow ripening conditions resulted in concentrated fruit development and palate weight.
