Zorgvliet Cabernet Franc Rosé 2021

R160,00

Salmon pink colour. The aroma is a complex mixture of fresh red fruit. The wine is crisp on the entry but rounded in the mid palate with an explosion of red berry flavours on the finish. A delicate and dry rosé to accompany you on hot summers days. As the wine matures, it will develop more creaminess on the palate.

More Information

In the cellar

The grapes were de-stemmed and lightly crushed. The juice was immediately pressed, (only the lightest pressings are used) and cold settled for 2 days at 8ºC. Thereafter the clear juice was racked off its gross lees and transferred to stainless tank for fermentation.

In the vineyard

The elevation of the vineyards is 350m - this provides for moderate temperatures resulting in late but slow ripening of fruit. The soils are made up of leached, decomposed granite and sandstone. Gravel in the upper layers provides for good drainage in wet seasons and clay in the subsoil provides moisture retention in dry ones. Vineyards are trained on a 7-wire hedge and cane pruned by hand. Average yield is 8-10tons/ha.

Ageing

This wine is ideally drunk young but should develop well with aging over a period of 2-3 years, if it is stored under optimum conditions.

Cultivar

Cabernet Franc

Food Pairing

This wine is delicious with appetizers, salads, seafood and poultry.
