Cape Jaffa Wines :: La Lune Rose de Syrah 2011

                                 

LA LUNE
Rosé de Syrah 2011
MOUNT BENSON

The La Lune range showcases wines which express true regionality and varietal distinctiveness with each vintage.

The fruit for this rosé was picked two weeks earlier than those shiraz blocks marked for red wine production, meaning the fruit was harvested at the perfect maturity, ripeness and acidity levels to produce a dry, refreshing style of rosé.  the berries were whole punch pressed allowing very limited contact with skins to achieving a bright ruby-red colour.

This shiraz rosé boasts a mouthful of ripe raspberry and strawberry on the nose, with a clever balance of lingering cherry and cleansing acid on the finish.
