NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER<\/strong>
\nThis pretty Ros\u00e9 is made from a vineyard planted on the western side of the Slanghoek Valley in a sandy soil with huge amounts of river pebbles in the profile. The soil has a low water holding capacity, so we work hard at mulching and composting on the farm to put organic matter back in the vineyard and generate a healthier micro climate for the plant. In the cellar there was only a couple of hours of skin contact during pressing, with a small amount of Colombard grapes added for that lively acidity. The juice underwent extended cold settling before cold fermentation. Aromas of bright red fruit is in abundance with cherry and strawberry most notable.<\/p>\n

SIXPENCE\u2019S STORY<\/strong>
\nSixpence was the nickname given to shepherd Daniel Smiles who looked after the flocks of sheep that roamed our farm in the 1950s and 1960s. Over time the farm increased the amount of land under vine and stopped farming sheep. Vineyards were planted on what had been grazing land, and they have been referred to as Sixpence\u2019s Vineyards ever since. Sixpence\u2019s son, Andries retired in 2010, after 35 years of service to Opstal. The Sixpence range is a tribute to not only Sixpence, but all the legends that have worked on Opstal. With third generation workers living and working on the farm, we are proud to honour those that have helped to make Opstal a success. Today, the Sixpence Range is a vehicle of hope and prosperity for our very own protected farming community within the beautiful Cape Winelands.<\/p>\n

A Tribute To Legendary Farm Workers\u2026 During the 1950\u2019s and 1960\u2019s Daniel Smiles, fondly known as Sixpence, was Opstal\u2019s Shepherd. Slowly, but surely, the sheep were replaced with vines planted on Sixpence\u2019s pastures, which were then referred to as Sixpence\u2019s vineyards. The Sixpence wines are made mostly from grapes from Sixpence\u2019s vines, and Opstal is proud to be able to honour the legendary Sixpence with our easy-drinking, everyday range of wines.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
