- TASTING NOTE: This is a beautiful, light dry Rose; it has delicate fruit flavours and a surprisingly full palate. It’s subtle, dried strawberry fruit flavours are beautifully complemented by the light astringency and the gentle acidity contributes to its lightly drying finish. West Cape Howe
- ABOUT THE WINE: This year’s Rose is our preferred blend of Tempranillo (60%) and Shiraz (40%). Several parcels of fruit were selected for the Rose; some was crushed and pressed with a short time on skins to pick up some colour in the juice. Some riper picked fruit was handled by the ‘Saignee’ method; the juice being drained from the crusher with just a hint of colour and then fermented at ~ 15 C to dryness. We’ve bottled this wine early to maximise all the delicate fruit flavours. West Cape Howe
