Description
This is a wonderfully dry, fruity rosé with delicate pomegranate and cranberry aromas complimented by subtle hints of rose petal. On the palate these are joined by savoury, almost biscuity flavours underlined by crisp acidity. We are always proud of our rosé but this is, dare we say it, our best yet!
Award: 3 stars Platter's South African Wine Guide
Viticulture
