Vine to Wine

The grapes were all crushed and destemmed and allowed skin contact prior to pressing. The clarified juice underwent a long, cool fermentation. Fermentation took 21 days after which the wine was racked and allowed to sit on fine lees for three months. The wine was then stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.

Pairs With

The social Rouge is a crowd pleaser, with its medium body and savoury tannins it pairs well with fresh tomato based pizzas and pastas. The versatility of this wine becomes even more apparent when enjoyed alongside more full flavored dishes such as rich lamb ragu and Moussaka.
