2022 Stormflower LITS Rosé

Hooray for Rosé!

Our friends at Stormflower Vineyard have recently launched the 2022 Line in the Sand Rosé and are generously donating all profits from its sale to Line in the Sand.

In the words of the team, the Line in the Sand Rosé is light, delicate and refreshing and also doing its part to protect this little slice of paradise we call home.

In the words of the experts, the technical winemaking notes are below:

Varietal Composition: 99% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Shiraz. All Certified Organic

Fermentation/Oak: The wine fermentation commenced in tank, allowing the native yeast strains to begin. Once the baume levels started to decrease, organic yeast strains were inoculated to over seed the native yeast, and 20% of the fermenting juice was transferred to new oak barrels to develop mouthfeel and soft oak structure. The barrel fermented wine was transferred back to tank before completion of the ferment. The wine was then left to mature on its lees for two months before preparation for bottling. In the final wine a small amount of Shiraz was added for colour and a red fruit lift.

Tasting notes: A pale salmon pink colour with aromas of tropical guava and citrus blossom and a note of spice from the Shiraz. Delicate and soft on the palate with generous fresh fruit appeal balanced with lees and subtle oak complexity. The smooth mouthfeel extends through to a clean and delicate savoury finish. This wine is made to be enjoyed through the 2022 spring and summer period.

Thank you to Stormflower Vineyard for your support of Line in the Sand and for bringing awareness to the important work we do in raising funds to restore and protect the fragile coastline in our beautiful Cape to Cape region.
