Spier Colours Rose 2007

An attractive, dusky-pink wine that’s well-structured, fruit-driven and ready to enjoy now. The nose rewards with hints of strawberry and candy floss, leading to full, ripe strawberry flavours that linger pleasantly on the after-palate.

Serve with crisp chicken and vegetable croquettes.
