2011 Gida's Rose

Colour:
Vibrant light crimson 

Bouquet: 
Fragrant with nuances of boiled sweets, rose petal and lemon

Palate: 
Light zesty soft fruit with clean lingering strawberry flavours, this is a soft style that finishes with a vibrant clean acidity 

Food Suggestions: 
Savour this wine chilled as an aperitif, with canapés or as a between course palate cleanser

Cellaring Potential: 
Perfect as a youthful wine while its vibrant primary fruit flavours are fresh

Winemaking Notes:
We have selected Merlot as the main variety for this wine. The fruit was allowed to have 12 hours of contact with its skins and then the free run juice syphoned off, cold settled and essentially handled as a white wine. Ferment temperatures were kept cold to maximise the fragrance and finesse, and the ferment halted just before complete dryness to retain fruit and palatability. During cold stabilising, the wine received a light fining to brighten the palate.
