Vinification of the Liefkoos Rosé from Lievland

This balanced rosé from South Africa is made from the grape varieties Mourvèdre and Syrah. The grapes for this South African rosé are harvested exclusively by hand once optimal ripeness is achieved. After harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is then followed by several months of ageing on fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
