Vinification
Only the finest grapes were selected and harvested by hand at 20 ̊ to 22 ̊ Balling during the beginning of February. The juice was left on the skins for a short period to extract the unique colour and optimal fruit flavours. The juice was then slowly fermented at 12 ̊C to 14 ̊C for about two weeks to produce a fresh and fruity rosé.
Vineyard: Riebeek Valley
The name Tinta refers to the varietal Tinta Barocca. Our Tinta Rosé is a blend of Tinta Barocca, Touriga Naçional, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Shiraz. The vineyards from which the fruit was sourced are situated on the north-eastern slopes of the Kasteelberg, planted in harsh mountain soil some 322 m above sea level. The soil is a mixture of Table Mountain. Sand stone and Malmesbury shale. The dryland, trellised vineyards face in north-westerly and south- easterly directions and thereby benefit from optimum sunlight to produce an abundance of complex flavours.
Soil Type
The soil on this Swartland farm are a mixture of shale and weathered sandstone - a story structure which is crucial to the particular character of Allesverloren wines.
