Kadette Pinotage Rosé 2023, Kanonkop

Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage Rosé is a medium bodied, dry style of Rosé with a delicate pale-pink colour, and aromas of sweet melon, candyfloss and summer berries. The acidity is fresh and bright, and compliments the sweet fruit character of the Pinotage variety. The palate displays intense flavours of red cherries, melon, strawberry and raspberry, with a creamy texture. The delicate nature of this wine makes it fit for any occasion. Ideally served chilled between 8 – 10˚C.

FOOD PAIRING: A perfect accompaniment with seafood dishes like grilled salmon and tuna, sushi and peri-peri prawns, as well as salads, quiche and roast chicken. The slight hint of sweetness on the finish lends itself to pair well with spicy dishes and light, aromatic curries too.

AGEING POTENTIAL: 2 to 3 years from vintage – Best enjoyed whilst young.

Alcohol: 14.24% ABV

    string(569) "South Africa’s very own variety, created in the early 20th century by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault. A variety which the home nation has taken to its collective heart, in the right hands and with gentle, delicate handling in the winery, Pinotage is a lush, fruit driven, black cherry jam and white pepper styled variety. When the focus is more on a traditional feel, extended barrel maturation can bolster the variety into creating more of a Bordelais clone. Some great examples exist, famously from Kanonkop and Kaapzicht Estate; both to be found in Stellenbosch."
