About
Mourvèdre has traditionally been used for the production of high-quality rosé wines in Provence. It was therefore a natural step to use our estate vineyard and try it for ourselves. We have always enjoyed adding a bit of Mourvèdre to our Syrah for its spicy & earthy flavours.
Because the Mourvèdre (moor-vey-drug) grape is originally from the warm shores of the Mediterranean, it is heat-resistant and grows vigorously in our climate. Our small vineyard of less than one hectare is pruned to retain a large number of growth positions. This reduces the vines’ vegetative vigour and yields a balance between growth and fruiting.
Product Features
- Awards: 92 Points Tim Atkin & Best Value Rosé of the Year.
- To make our rosé, we leave crushed grapes in contact with their skins for one to two hours before each pressing.
- This skin contact gives the wine its salmon and onion skin colouration.
- The wine is fermented naturally in stainless steel tanks and bottled with minimal intervention.
- Aromas of strawberries, watermelon, and black currant are underlined by a crisp, dry mineral finish
- This is a perfect wine alongside the braai. Serve chilled.
