2023 Simonsig Rosé Chenin Blanc/Pinotage 0.75 Ltr. Rosé
picture of

Nice, light salmon color. This rosé is a lively collaboration between 2 typical South African grapes. Fresh melon and other white stone fruit from the Chenin and hints of watermelon and red berries from the Pinotage, which also provides the backbone of the wine. Wonderfully thirst-quenching character that instantly brings about a sunny feeling. The final is exciting and tempting and requires ... more!

Wonderfully refreshing on hot summer days or as an aperitif. Also delicious with summer salads, appetizers with salmon, Mediterranean fish dishes, crustaceans and a nice piece of grilled meat.

vinification

Chenin blanc 69%, Pinotage 31%. The grapes are picked by hand and fermented separately. After careful pressing, the Pinotage is separated from its pellets almost immediately. Fermentation is done at a low temperature (12-14° C) to preserve its freshness and subtile aromas as much as possible. Then it is blended with the juice of the Chenin, which undergoes a classical fermentation.
