Production Details This premium rose is made in the same dry style as the great rose wines of Provence, France. Grapes were hand-picked into lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. Great care was taken to minimise the amount of colour extraction from the grapes through gentle pressing, before overnight settling. Spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeast lasted between 2 to 4 weeks in both stainless steel and older French oak barrels (14%). The wine spent 4 months on the fine lees before being blended and bottled.
