Lievland Vineyards, Liefkoos Rose

The Lievland rosé is made in a “Provence style” – pale in color and with low alcohols. To achieve this style, both varietals were carefully monitored for ripeness and flavor and were harvested in small batches. The two varietals were sometimes picked alternately, over the course of several passes. The grapes were hand-picked into small lug boxes during the cool early mornings. The juice was quickly extracted with minimal skin contact and moved to tank where it was lightly clarified before fermentation. Fermentation took place at 12-16c and was completed after 21 days. After the final blend was assembled, the wine was filtered before bottling.
