DeGrendel Winery
SOUTH AFRICA
Rose 2010
 This Rosé is a blend of mainly Pinotage and Cabernet Sauvignon. These two cultivars produce some of the best Rosé style wines in South Africa. Grapes were handpicked at 21 – 22 °B, destalked and kept in contact with the skins for 6-10 hours. Skins were pressed, juice settled overnight, racked and fermented at 16 °C for 15 days, followed by stabilization and bottled. The wine has an attractive strawberry pink colour. Ample fruit reminds of red berries, strawberries and watermelon. The wine has a crisp, dry finish with a very well-structured natural acidity.
