Tasting Notes
The Danilo Rosé is produced in a light style with lower alcohol
and is made to enjoy in spring and summertime.
Vineyards
Merlot Grapes are form our own vineyards grown on Yonder Hill.
The Grenache is bought in from Vriesenhof. Both varieties were
picked with low sugar to keep the alcohol low and retain
freshness.
In the Cellar
Skin contact was less than one hour and free-run juice was used to give the colour. The wine was cold fermented and bottled early to maintain the
fruity flavours.
