GRENACHE ROSÉ 2023

WOLF & WOMAN Grenache Rosé is a blend from grapes from
three different vineyards, all of them are bush-vine, dryland farmed
and grows in the Paardeberg region in granitic soils.
The first pick is on 20 ˚B which gives you the energy and freshness of
the wine. Second pick is around 21˚B and the last pick at 22˚B.
The second and third pick gives you 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 were 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 7 months on the lees before it
was blended and bottled.

“Part of the range extension at Wolf and Woman – keep them coming, please – this is a Tavelmeets- Côtes-de-Provence rosé made with Grenache grown on decomposed granite soils. Subtle reduction, a nip of tannin and redcurrant and raspberry fruit are embellished by ageing in older oak”
91, Grenache rosé 2020, Tim Atkin MW, South Africa 2021 Special Report
“Province in style with a Swartland edge. The perfect balance of floral nuances, orange blossom & rose petals playfully intertwine with subtle fresh fruit, pomegranate, honey-due melon, citrus, and soft berry aromas. A mineral core, hints of celery, and a bright well-balanced acidity keeps the palate fresh. A crisp and flavoursome Rosé that you can sip on all day, but one that will stand up and demand to be taken seriously; part woman, part wolf perhaps.”
Bubbles Hyland, Liquid Memory, Grenache rosé 2020
“Supple and bright with nice mandarin and citrus. Has good weight. Sappy and detailed, and very refined.”
