Characters of sweeter pineapple flesh out the mid-palate and give weight to a peppery finish with great minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage conditionsThis vintage was impacted by the fourth year of the ongoing drought in the region. The 2017 winter was cold and dry, followed by a dry spring and summer, with bouts of unusual weather. A number of thunderstorms resulted in a late onset of additional vigour in the vineyards. Unsettled weather and wind during flowering, along with a freak hail storm and low levels of soil moisture decreased yields by 20% to 50%. The harvest began closer to its average start date and the smaller berries and bunches yielded lower juice volumes per ton. The lower yields resulted in the wines showing excellent concentration and body, producing rich, robust reds and fruit forward, expressive whites and rosés.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification detailsAfter hand harvesting, the grapes were whole bunch pressed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine spent a month on its lees prior to bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen credentialsAccredited Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003csection data-liuqs-content=\"verified-context\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"site-brand-context\"\u003eListed by \u003cstrong\u003eFlowers by Richard NYC | Same Day Flower Delivery NYC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"site-context-note\"\u003eFree Shipping on All Orders · New Store Launch Deals End in 30 Days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"verified-product-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVendor:\u003c\/strong\u003e My Store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTags:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42989114982485,"sku":"cs_11914","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/9630\/0117\/files\/z643l4icypb2_4d242328-cd92-4bec-bf82-4c5875f21a0e.jpg?v=1789298539","url":"https:\/\/willowcreekspirits.com\/products\/rustenbergroussanne-hkgqj3","provider":"Willow Creekspirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
