This wine may be familiar to those of you who attended our Rosé tasting sessions earlier in the year, as it was certainly one of the stand-outs if not the overall winner of the event!
The winery, perched high up on the windswept Schapenberg overlooking False Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, was founded by Paul Boutinot in 2004. It continues to be a family owned and run farm which uses organic practices and makes wines with as little intervention as possible. We think you’ll agree that the winery produces wines of immense quality and character, and this rosé is no exception.
Because of the estate’s proximity to the ocean, the Mourvèdre vines are wind-swept and have to work hard to thrive in the coastal conditions of the region. This means the vines produce low yields of high-quality fruit – and when we say low yields, we mean really low, just 5 tons per hectare. The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested to ensure that only the best quality fruit makes it to the press.
This pale rosé has delicate aromas of pomegranates and raspberry, with a distinctive saline flintiness indicative of its coastal terroir. The palate is elegant with soft red fruit and peachy stone fruit flavours, a silky texture and a refreshing acidity on the finish.
This would be a great match for fresh seafood, tuna sashimi and California rolls, or even just a sunny afternoon spent lounging in the garden!
