Our Semi-Sweet Rosé is made from our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, a red variety presented in a fresh and elegant style. The grapes are harvested early and carefully handled before being transferred to the bag press, where they remain on the cooled skins for 7 hours. This gentle skin contact allows a delicate amount of colour and character to be drawn from the skins, giving the wine its beautiful rosé hue.

Thereafter, the wine follows a process similar to that used in the production of white wines. The result is a fresh, fruity and elegant rosé that showcases the character of Cabernet Sauvignon in a lighter, semi-sweet style.

Vinification

The grapes were harvested early in the morning and carefully destemmed before being transferred to the bag press. The grapes remained on the cooled skins for 7 hours, allowing gentle extraction of colour and fruit character. The juice was then transferred to stainless steel tanks and held at 6°C for 3 days before being settled and fermented. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was kept chilled in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Food Notes

Pairs beautifully with light summer dishes, salads, seafood, mildly spiced curries, charcuterie and soft cheeses. It is also delightful enjoyed on its own. – Open and enjoy. – Best served well chilled at approximately 10°C.

Maturation

The wine was bottle-matured before release and is best enjoyed while young, fresh and fruit-forward.
