Vinification of Kanonkop Estate Kadette Pinotage Rosé

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Pinotage. For this wonderfully powerful varietal wine from Kanonkop Estate, only first-class grape material was used. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Western Cape. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into granite soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, Kadette Pinotage Rosé can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
