Description

The Merry Widow Rosé is a colourful wine (not just because of the vibrant colour, but also because of the "lively" family history). Living to the ripe old age of 44 yrs, 6 mths and 22 days, Catharine out-lived her philandering husband Henry who had a secret love-child with a lady Snurr in the next village. Catharine forgave Henry but we imagine her doing a little dance after his 'sudden' passing.

Winemaker's Notes

• A light strawberry pink colour with aromas of fresh cherries. Flavours of red cherry and tropical fruits.
• Skin contact of 3 hours provides vibrant colour.
• Fermented at cold temperatures of 14-16°C in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s delicacy and freshness.
• Soils are a combination of lacustrine silty clay, and lacustrine silty clay over clay loam till.
