Yeringberg Rose 2023

Yeringberg Rose 2023

Our third Rosé is a brilliant pale salmon colour. The intense aromas are reminiscent of crushed strawberries and orange blossom. It has a savoury yet smooth palate with some texture at the finish, and a long lingering aftertaste.

The wine was conceived more as a pink red wine than a rose-tinged white; it relies on phenolics for structure rather than being an acid-driven, just-done rosé. It s dry and fresh and leans towards texture and savouriness.

It’s a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Shiraz grapes (30%) from 25 year-old vines along our front drive. The Shiraz was whole bunch pressed, while the Cabernet was crushed before pressing. After finishing fermentation, the wine was aged in barrel for 6 months. – Sandra de Pury

A blend of 75/25% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz; both from 99 plantings. Matured for seven months in seasoned barrels. A bright orange-pink, this energetic wine has aromas of red fruits, blood oranges, musk and subtle florals. Dry and gently fleshy, finishing with a refreshing citrus zest bitterness. Another excellent Yeringberg rosé. 95 points - Philip Rich, Wine Companion Aug 2024

Strawberry, tangerine, a little spice, some floral notes (including chamomile), with a flicker of aniseed. It has flesh and presence, lovely chalky grip, balanced acidity that’s there, but unobtrusive, rosehip and orange, a subtle nutty flavour, with redcurrant and spice to close on a finish of excellent length. Very nice. 94 points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
