Villiera Tradition Brut Rosé is a pioneering Cap Classique, being the first bottle-fermented rosé produced in South Africa. A joyful blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and a touch of Pinotage gives this wine its vivid pink hue, fine bubbles and layers of red berry, citrus and subtle brioche flavours. Rich, refreshing and beautifully balanced, it’s a sparkling wine made for celebrating life’s everyday moments or special occasions.
Slightly unripe healthy grapes are harvested early in the season by hand. Whole bunches are deposited directly in the presses (pneumatic) and pressed very gently according to a Champagne pressing programme. Only the Cuvee (the best quality juice) is used in the blend. The colour is achieved by adding about 2 % of a specially prepared red wine made from Pinot Noir. After blending, yeast and sugar are added for a secondary fermentation in the bottle which takes 6 weeks producing the magical bubble. The sparkling wine is then matured in contact with the lees for an average of 18 months. After riddling and disgorging a small amount of dosage is added to balance.
