This rosé is produced using traditional winemaking techniques that emphasize the varietal’s natural flavors and aromas, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate the finesse of a well-made rosé.

Viticulture:
The grapes for this rosé come from old, dryland bushvines that yield low quantities but high-quality fruit. These vines are hand-picked to ensure that only the best grapes are used, contributing to the wine’s concentrated flavors and aromatic intensity.

Winemaking:

Whole Bunch Pressing: The grapes are whole bunch pressed, a gentle process that helps preserve the delicate fruit flavors and prevents excessive tannin extraction.
Natural Fermentation: Fermentation occurs naturally, using only the yeasts present on the grape skins, which adds layers of complexity and a unique character to the wine.
Aging: The wine is aged sur lie in stainless steel tanks. Regular stirring of the lees (bâtonnage) is performed to enhance the wine’s complexity and create a rounder, more textured mouthfeel.
No Malolactic Fermentation: This process is avoided to maintain the wine’s crisp acidity and fresh, vibrant fruit flavors.
Tasting Notes:

Palate: On the palate, Eenzaamheid Cinsaut Rosé is refreshing and light-bodied, with flavors of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and a subtle herbal undertone.
Finish: The finish is clean and crisp, with a lingering freshness that makes this rosé exceptionally drinkable.
