Winemakers Comments
Crystal clear, bright with a pale rose gold hue. Aromas of delicate, floral perfumed rose petals, Cerise blanches and pink grapefruit. Generous, crisp, full mouth feel. A smooth, creamy elegant wine with tonnes of finesse and a long finish. Muti-layered lingering wine which sparkles like a diamond!

Viticulture
Winter 2021 saw good rainfall and plenty of cold days. The growing season was characterized by cool temperatures and regular rains until December. January and February were hot and dry then the rain returned in March which made harvest testing. Rosé grapes were harvested under great conditions in February.
