Liefkoos Rosé

This wine pairs well with red summer fruits and soft cheeses.

All varieties were carefully monitored for ripeness and flavour and were harvested in small batches, picked alternately over the course of several passes. The grapes were hand-picked into small lug boxed during the cool early mornings. The juice was quickly extracted with minimal skin contact and moved to tanks where it was lightly clarified before fermentation. After fermentation, there was extended lees contact for texture and richness. After the final blend was assembled, the wine was filtered before bottling.

Lievland’s history dates back to 1715, when the original farm was granted to the ex-soldier Jurie Hanekom. Lievland lies on the western slopes of the Simonsberg mountains between Stellenbosch and Paarl, two of the most prominent wine-growing areas in the Cape. The climate, location, and soil on the slopes are conducive to the cultivation of high-quality grapes, and some of the Cape’s best-known wines are made here. Lievland is all about "the here and now", and their wines are made in a generous fruit-forward, well-extracted style.
