Lighthearted Low-Alcohol Cinsault Rosé

This wine pairs excellently with summer favourites such as a summer berry salad with grilled chicken or a Greek yogurt panna cotta with strawberry sauce.

The 2025 harvest was marked by slightly below-average volumes, a result of the dry conditions experienced during the late summer and harvest period. These weather conditions proved advantageous for grape quality, resulting in good natural acidity and sugar levels in the grapes. This balance of concentrated flavours, intense colour and vibrant acidity promises exceptional wines for the vintage.

Under dryland conditions, Cinsault produces small berries with good flavour concentration. Harvested from a 30-year-old bush vine vineyard in the Paarl region, the grapes were picked at 23° Balling to ensure the fresh style of the wine. 30% of the wine was de-alcoholised mid-fermentation to achieve a low alcohol level. No lees contact took place after fermentation.
