DeMorgenzon Garden Vineyards Rosé is made from a blend of 54% Grenache, 36% Syrah and and 10% Mourvédre from vineyards situated on the DeMorgenzon estate in the Stellenboschkloof and they are part of its replanting programme. Small portions of the grapes are bought in from surrounding farms in Stellenbosch. The grapes are selected for their ability to produce fresh, fruit forward wines. Trellised vineyards are managed to ensure natural high acidity and full flavour concentration.

Grapes were partially whole bunch pressed, the balance de-stemmed and the juice left for 4 to 6 hours of skin contact before being drained, blended and fermented. This elegant style wine was matured in old oak barrels for a few months for added complexity.
