Beau Constantia Karin Rosé 2023

The nose, at first subtle, is an indication of just how serious an offering this is. As one swirls, struck match and gun flint gradually give way to aromas of capsicum, blood orange and grapefruit. This wine is extremely introverted and will open up beautifully given some air. By minimizing time on the skins and extending time in barrel, this wine presents a surprisingly creamy texture and a zippy citrus acidity with a saline edge that may just be related to our close proximity to the sea. On the finish, an undeniable oyster shell minerality.

Description
Product Details

At first the must fermented in tank under controlled conditions at a maximum temperature of 19 degrees Celsius before being barreled down to one 600L- and one 225L older French oak barrel in the last third of its fermentation journey. Once fermentation was complete, the wine remained on the gross lees for 7 months before being bottled. Pale beyond belief, this wine’s colour is hard to define, but lands on the spectrum somewhere around onion skin.
