DeMorgenzon, DMZ Rosé 2024

Description

TASTING NOTE
This delightful dry Syrah Rosé offers a rich and inviting experience. On the nose, vibrant aromas of ripe strawberries and tangy raspberries dance alongside subtle hints of dried herbs and delicate floral undertones, creating an inviting bouquet. The palate is greeted by a crisp and refreshing acidity, accompanied by a medley of succulent watermelon and juicy red cherries, leading to a satisfying dry and lingering finish.

VINEYARDS
In the vineyard, trellised vineyards are managed with open canopies. Sunlight exposure allows these grapes to be harvested earlier with a lower sugar level and lighter colour essential to making world class rosé.

VINTAGE
Following on from a wet winter, DeMorgenzon experienced a slightly delayed budburst in a cooler than usual Spring season. Summer brought with it intermittent heat waves which resulted in a very compacted harvest period, as most of the white varieties, and early Rosé blocks started to ripen at the same period.

VINIFICATION AND MATURATION
Harvested from the Entrance Drive Syrah block, this Syrah is destemmed and lightly pressed for optimal colour extraction. This is then followed by natural fermentation in stainless steel tank. Maturation takes place for 4 months before being lightly filtered and bottled.
