de Krans, Premium Moscato Rose Perle, Western Cape

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested early in the morning to ensure cool temperatures. After the grapes are destemmed and crushed and pumped into a separating tank where the juice and skins are separated.
The juice then flows by gravity into a settling tank and is settled out overnight. Clear juice is racked into fermentation tanks the next morning, and fermentation
is started by adding selected yeast. The juice is fermented at 14 degrees C until dry, whereafter Muscadel juice is added to sweeten and CO2 for perlé just before bottling.

Winemaker’s comments

Colour: Beautiful light rose petal colour with fine, fizzy bubbles.
Bouquet: Exotic muscat and spicy aromas, with hints of strawberries and candy floss.
Taste: Fresh tropical fruit and strawberries, light-bodied, with a good balance between sugar and acidity.
Food pairing - Great on its own or served with fresh summer salads, charcuterie or light meals.
Alcohol: 9.0%

Jakkalsvlei Private Cellar, La Perle Rose Pink Moscato

Background

Jakkalsvlei is a family-owned winery situated in the Garden Route, close to the rural village, Herbertsdale, next to the Langeberg Mountains. The land is farmed by the Jonker family since 1972, in 1987 the first vineyards were planted, and since 2008 our wines have been bottled under Jakkalsvlei. Our vision is to grow quality grapes that produce world-class wines for everybody to enjoy.

Vineyards

Red and White Muscadel vines at Jakkalsvlei are planted in sandstone soils, expertly trellised using a 7-wire VSP system and supported by drip irrigation. Planted in a North – South row direction the morning side of the vineyards are picked early during season at low sugars to make this fresh low alcohol wine. This delightful perléstyle rosé wine is both refreshing and easy to savour.
