NC- Piekenierskloof Grenache Rose

Piekenierskloof Wines is a notable winery located in the Western Cape of South Africa, situated in the picturesque Piekenierskloof region. This area is renowned for its stunning landscapes and favorable climate, which contribute to the production of high-quality wines. The Piekenierskloof region is characterized by its mountainous terrain, with vineyards planted at high altitudes. This elevation offers cooler temperatures, allowing grapes to develop balanced acidity and complex flavors. The region's diverse soil types, including clay and granite, also play a significant role in creating a unique terroir.

This rosé stands out for its refreshing profile and ability to capture the essence of its terroir. The Grenache grapes are carefully selected from vineyards situated at high altitudes. The cooler climate at these elevations allows the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their natural acidity and enhancing flavor development. The winemaking process often involves gentle pressing to extract just the right amount of color from the skins, followed by cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and fruitiness.

"This unique rosé was carefully crafted and displays an abundance of succulent strawberry, luscious cherry and raspberry flavours with subtle rose petal undertones that forms a surprisingly delicious experience."
