Description
Vineyard
The Spice Route Rosé 2026 is crafted from Pinotage and Pinot Gris sourced from selected vineyards across the Coastal Region. Cooling maritime influences allow the grapes to ripen gradually while retaining freshness and natural fruit expression. As a result, the wine captures both vibrant fruit character and bright acidity.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested during the cool early mornings and gently pressed to preserve their delicate aromatics and fruit purity. The juice spent a short time on the skins to develop its pale salmon hue before fermenting in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine remained on its lees for several weeks, building texture and complexity while maintaining freshness.
Tasting Notes
Spice Route Rosé 2026 shows inviting aromas of wild strawberries, watermelon, and subtle floral notes. The palate is lively and fruit driven, revealing flavours of summer berries and juicy stone fruit. Crisp acidity brings balance, while the clean, dry finish keeps the wine refreshing and elegant. Approachable and versatile, it is made for relaxed afternoons and shared moments around the table.
Food Pairing
Serve well chilled with fresh salads, seafood dishes, light summer fare, or simply enjoy it on its own with good company. Its bright fruit and crisp finish make it a versatile choice for warm-weather occasions.
