ABOUT THIS WINE
Roodeberg 2022 is a red blend from the Western Cape, South Africa, produced by KWV. The wine's name, meaning 'Red Mountain,' was inspired by a local landmark. KWV, the producer, was established in 1918 by a group of winegrowers. The blend composition has seen adjustments over time, including an increase in Shiraz to enhance its aromatic profile. The 2022 vintage was marked by a smaller, high-quality harvest with a cooler growing season.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Roodeberg 2022 involves fermenting each grape varietal separately from selected sites in the Western Cape. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak, predominantly French oak with a portion of American oak. The final blend is then composed from these aged components. The 2022 vintage benefited from a cooler growing season and a smaller, high-quality harvest.
