Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon Rose
This beautiful rose wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, fruit driven, refreshing with abundance of berry flavours and a pleasant long finish.
Description
Perfect for this time of year! Collect the sloes in October and the Sloe Gin will be ready in time for Christmas.
Method

1
1. Once you have picked the sloes, prick them all with a pin.
2. Add the gin, sugar and sloes into a large glass sealed container (not plastic), shake well and then place in a cool room.
3. Shake regularly so the mixture all blends together and the sugar eventually disolves.
4. About a week before Christmas pour the liquid through a sieve or muslin bag to separate the fruit and the liquid.
5. Then put the Sloe Gin into a bottle and use as required.
