Description
History
The bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and overtly feminine Katharien Rosé was named after our youngest child and, equally bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, only daughter.
A dry 100% Syrah Rosé with a delicate pale-salmon colour. Medium-bodied, with perfumed aromas of fresh violets and ripe summer fruit like red cherry, finishing with lingering flavours of strawberries and spices.
Winemaking Record
Grapes are harvested in the cool mornings, crushed slightly, and pressed. The juice is settled overnight and then racked. Recovery is 550l per ton to ensure good colour and texture. Two yeast strains are used to add complexity and depth. 15% of the wine is fermented in older 500-litre barrels and the rest in stainless steel tanks. The wine is kept on the lees for five months, after fermentation, prior to bottling.
