Ken Forrester Petit Rose (South Africa)

”tasting notes this very elegant rose overwhelms the nose with aromas of freshly picked strawberries rose petal and cherry flavours. It follows through on the palate with delicious ripe raspberries with a delicate finish. Ageing potential should last half an hour with the cap off and reach for the next bottle! Food suggestions serve with all light summertime meals. About the harvest the rose project is from vineyards dedicated to rose the fruit is hand harvested as if to produce a white wine with high natural acidity hence no added acid in the cellar. In the cellar crushed and pressed leaving the skins soaking for an hour or two. This infuses the delicate copper salmon colour unique for grenache and a cold fermentation in stainless tanks ensures an elegant wine.” – ken forrester
