Arid Shiraz Rose

A delicious low sulphite Rose from artisan producer Arid Wines in Stellenbosch.

Pale salmon/copper in colour. Big red berry flavours with full body from short ageing in oak.

Great balance and lovely flavours. This is a great wine for enjoying on it’s own but will pair particularly well with cheese and charcuterie.

The Vineyard/ Terroir:
This single vineyard Shiraz is rooted in Tukulu soils, which are derived from ancient, decomposed granite. The vineyard is situated on a cooler Southern facing slope, and together with the cool Atlantic breezes it has a long ripening period which ensures the even ripening of the berries with a naturally crisp acidity.

Vinification:
Harvesting was done by hand when grapes reached the desired sugar content. Two hours skin contact were applied in the press after which grapes were whole-bunch pressed and the juice settled over night. Fermentation lasted seventeen days in a stainless-steel tank after which it was transferred to old barrels, for three weeks, before bottling.
