ABOUT THIS WINE
The Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé is a distinctive wine from Mulderbosch Vineyards, located in South Africa's Coastal Region, frequently associated with Stellenbosch. It is notable for being one of the first producers in the region to craft a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon rosé from grapes specifically grown for this purpose, rather than as a byproduct. The winery, established in 1989, is recognized for its commitment to quality, innovation, and creating enjoyable wines. The 2023 vintage exhibits a lighter hue due to reduced skin contact time.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé is produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, often harvested early to retain acidity and vibrant fruit. The winemaking process treats the juice similarly to white wines, employing cool fermentation with aromatic yeasts to amplify aromas and minerality. Early bottling is a key strategy to ensure the wine's freshness. The 2023 vintage saw a reduction in skin contact time, resulting in a lighter hue.
