  • An engaging and elegant dry rosé showing lovely finesse. Enticing aromas of raspberry and pomegranate follow through to the palate, layered with ripe watermelon and a tangy cranberry finish.

Whole bunch pressing took place to extract as little colour as possible. The grapes were left to cold settle overnight to clear the juice before being racked into stainless steel vats. Wild yeast enabled fermentation at 20°C, the higher temperature imparting a creamy mouthfeel. Post-fermentation lees contact took place until bottling.

Winery

Leeuwenkuil is situated in the triangle between Malmesbury, Paarl and Durbanville. The Atlantic Ocean lies 20 miles to the west, which has a significant cooling and moderating effect on the Mediterranean climate. The rolling hills average around 140 metres above sea level. However, the superior influence on the wine comes from the various soil formations, namely shale, schist, granite, and iron stone. These ancient soils vary greatly in the percentage of clay, mineral content and organic matter. The grapes for this rosé are mostly grown in clay-rich shale, resulting in a wine with substance and moderate acidity. The oldest vineyards are low-density bush vines; this training method best handles dryland conditions. A mixed cover crop is planted during early winter and ploughed in mid spring. All pruning, suckering and harvesting actions take place by hand. Exposure to spring and summer winds creates a healthy environment with little intervention to keep vines healthy.
