WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of the Foot of Africa Rosé involves crushing the grapes followed by a brief period of skin contact to impart color and aroma. The juice is then separated from the skins, and fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled, cool temperatures. This method is employed to preserve the wine's fresh fruit character and vibrant acidity. The wine is generally intended for release and consumption in its youth, without significant aging, to highlight its immediate appeal.
