Kadette Pinotage Rosé 2019, Kanonkop

Kanonkop Kadette Pinotage Rosé is a full bodied, dry style of Rosé with a delicate coral pink colour. The nose displays fresh and bright aromas of strawberry, pomegranate and watermelon, and a touch of cinnamon spice. A lovely weighted mouthfeel is further complimented by juicy summer berry flavours, and lingering notes of raspberry puree on the finish. The succulent fruit and refreshing acidity make this wine perfect to enjoy as an aperitif. 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 and quiche. The slight hint of sweetness on the finish lends itself to pair well with spicy dishes and light, aromatic curries too.

AGEING POTENTIAL: Enjoy while young.

    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."
