Bellingham Pinotage Rosé 2008

Brilliant clear pink in colour with an orange tinge. Distinct nose, rich in freshly crushed strawberry flavours with ripe cherry nuances and hints of Turkish delight and spice. A burst of crushed strawberries on the palate with touches of spice. Delicately sweet with a refreshing crisp finish and a fruity after taste.

Enjoy well chilled as an aperitif, with spicy seared tuna, sushi as well as grilled chicken salads.
