They were whole-bunch pressed with a champagne pressing cycle to extract a pale and delicate juice. The Syrah juices were fermented separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and protect the primary characteristics of the varietal. The juices were inoculated with neutral yeast strains and underwent a cool fermentation (13-15°C) for about 21 days. The wine underwent a light fining and was bottled in mid-May 2022.

Our Steenberg Ruby Rosé is made from Syrah. The Syrah grapes hail from multiple blocks from our farm in Constantia. The grapes were hand-picked at an average of 22 degrees balling in the early morning in mid-February.
