WINE MAKING PROCESS
The KWV Rosé 2024 is produced using techniques that emphasize freshness and fruit expression. The process involves crushing the grapes followed by a brief period of skin maceration to extract color and flavor, or alternatively, by gently pressing blue grapes before fermentation. Fermentation is managed at controlled temperatures to preserve aromatic compounds. The wine is designed for consumption relatively soon after bottling, typically within 18 to 24 months of the vintage date, to best appreciate its vibrant characteristics.
