Diemersdal Rose 2023
This wine represents the meeting of the parent and the sibling, namely Sauvignon Blanc, which is one of the two varieties from which Cabernet Sauvignon was created. A combination of 97% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% fresh Cabernet Sauvignon, this unique rosé wine combines firm berry-fruit with a brisk freshness.
Food suggestions:
Served well chilled on any occasion.
Tasting notes:
Delicate, fruity and lively, with distinctive Sauvignon Blanc aromas of passion fruit and lime, with hints of the cherry and strawberry flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon. A balanced palate with crisp acidity and fruity undertones.
Maturation:
Post Fermentation lees contact for 1 month, stirred up once a week to enhance mouth feel and concentration. Blended 3 weeks before bottling and stabilization.
Oenology:
Traditional reductive Sauvignon Blanc Winemaking. Three weeks before bottling, 3% fresh Cabernet Sauvignon was added to the Sauvignon Blanc until the perfect rosy coral colour was matched.
