GRENACHE ROSÉ 2024
WOLF & WOMAN Grenache Rosé is a blend of grapes from two
different vineyards. Both are bush-vines and dryland farmed which
grows in the Piekenierskloof Mountains at an altitude of
650m above sea level in sandstone soils.
The first pick is at 20. 5 ˚B which gives you the energy and freshness
of the wine. Second pick is around 22˚B to provide multiple layers of
fruit and adds complexity to the final wine.
All of the grapes were picked early in the morning, packed in crates
and allowed to spend 24 hours in a cold room. The following day the
grapes are pressed gently and as whole clusters to obtain the perfect
colour and to secure high-quality juice. The free run juice was drained
into a stainless-steel tank to settle for 24 hours. No enzymes were used
during the settling process.
The juice was racked from the thick lees, first pick goes to
a stainless-steel tank and the balance to 500 L old French oak barrels,
after which the wine fermented naturally. After fermentation, the
wine was given a low dose of sulphur and spent a total of 8 months on
the lees before it was blended and bottled.
