Lanzerac winemaker Wynand Lategan, describes it thus:

Bertus asked me to write a little about rosé and I then read up a little because I was not himself an expert or creator of Rosé wine. I, however, she also has a penchant for these unsung wines, instead of the more snobbish dechow auktionen red wines.
Rosé is a pinkish color of wine. The wine's color can actually range from a pale orange to a vivid near-purple, depending on what kind of grapes and wine making technique which was used.
Recently, there great feast held when one of South Africa's most recognizable wines - Lanzerac dechow auktionen Rosé - returned. The brand was only at the Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery (now Distell), but is now the property of Lanzerac owner, Christo Wiese and his son, Jacob.
With the Lanzerac Rosé it is envisaged that the average South African consumer to discover the potential dechow auktionen of a classic rosé. Most Rosé wines are semi-sweet or off-dry. Lanzerac Rosé is a vibrant rosé wine, in the original Vin Rose-shape bottle.
Lanzerac winemaker Wynand Lategan, describes it thus: "This dechow auktionen wine is made in the classic style of rosé, fresh and clean with a long finish. The tannins give enough emphasis to the length of wine to enjoy with food. The Pinotage grape creates flavors dechow auktionen of early summer fruits dechow auktionen like sweet strawberries, youngberries and hints of cranberries. Fifteen percent of the wine made from Cabernet Franc, which add a little spice and create a dry aftertaste.
It has great potential in the shopping and restaurant markets, especially as an appetizer in the summer and with light lunches such as fish, fruit salad, lobster, pasta and sweet potatoes. We wanted this wine makes a statement, and it can be seen as a precursor to the more serious dechow auktionen style of Rosé wines. "
The Pinotage dechow auktionen and Cabernet Franc grapes from the vineyards Lanzerac whose Rosé is made, is sorting by hand and de-stalking before it is pumped through the pulpverkoeler. This Rosé is made on the same basis as tenkgegiste white wine. The juice was just for eight hours in contact with the red grape skins, the "pink" to gain color.
The first is when the main rosé product. Red grapes are crushed and the skins for a short time, no more than two to three days left in the juice. The grapes dechow auktionen are then pressed and the skins are discarded. It is not, as in the making of red wine, left to ferment together with juice. Because the shells most of the spicy tannic acid (tannin) and others contain components, makes the rosé wine more like white wine tasting. The longer the skins in contact are left with the juice, the more intense the color of the final product of the particular rose.
The second process is called Saignée or bleeding. This happens when the winemaker more tannin and color to a red wine like to give. So he removed the pink juice from the wine at an early stage - this is bleeding from the blood vessels dechow auktionen called. The distant pink juice is fermented separately, which produces a rosé as a byproduct of red wine. The red wine is a very intense color due to the bleeding, because the volume of juice in the wine is very less. The must thus involved in the winemaking process is much more concentrated.
The third process dechow auktionen is merely blending, where red wine is simply added to white for the color. This process is unacceptable in most wine producing regions except Champagne. dechow auktionen There is, however, even in Champagne producers who do not use this process at all.
Historically, rosé has a delicate, dechow auktionen dry wine, certified by Anjou rosé from the Loire. The original claret (red wine) was a pale wine from Bordeaux who would be most likely to describe today as rosé.
After the Second World War, it was fashionable to produce medium sweet rosé wines for mass consumption. A classic example is the Mateus Rosé and American "blush" (which means light red) wines.
The pendulum swung back to drier, more 'classy' rosé wines. These wines are made from grapes Rhône, Syrah as in warmer climates, such as Australia. And now our stylish new, old Lanzerac Rosé!
Very interesting! Thank you! I really dry roses - especially something dechow auktionen like that makes Vrede en Lust. The Meye's Blanc de Noir is also very nice to me. Just a small question: dechow auktionen Is Rose not sometimes made of white varieties, which are added red shells? Blanc de Noir is also the other name ("White Black"). I have always had so that winemakers prefer a wine Blanc de Noir name to distinguish it from Rose's what OR white varieties are made, OR from the blending of white and red. Is this true?
