ROSÉ IN SOUTH AFRICA

Cape Rock always aimed to produce a wide spectrum of wine styles from Rhône varietals in the Olifants River area. The farm planted Mourvèdre, Grenache and Carignan five years ago for future red blends, but felt the vineyards were not quite mature enough for the production of quality red wines, in the meantime they have happily made a light fresh Rosé for summertime quaffing while waiting for the vines to mature. The wine is light, but with an interesting layered palate On the nose you can pick up some pomegranate and strawberry flavours, and on the palate some berrry flavours with a pithy dry finish Made to be enjoyed at release and over the next two years Ideal to be enjoyed on its own or ice cold Pairs well with salads, fresh seafood or with tapas style food
