This South African Pinotage has an attractive pale strawberry appearance and the nose shows exuberant fresh candy with hints of flower blossoms. The palate is fresh and fruity but not sweet. A well balanced, easy drinking wine.

This fresh and fruity RosÃ© is best enjoyed with chicken salads, paella and sweet and sour dishes.
