FRESH & FRUITY WITH A PALE PINK HUE
Veldfire Rosé
Experience the elegance of the Veldfire Rosé, a delightful summer wine bursting with vibrant flavors of strawberries and cream. Its pale pink hue and well-integrated acidity offer a refreshing sip perfect for warm days and relaxed gatherings. The proximity of Stanford Hills Estate to the coast ensures cool sea breezes during the hotter months, allowing the grapes to gently ripen at optimal speed. All grapes used are produced on the farm itself and picked by hand to ensure only the best quality grapes are used for annual wine production. The somewhat basic cellar is located in one half of an airplane hangar on the farm. Peter believes in minimal interference during the winemaking process to allow the grapes to express their individual identity.
