Kleine Rust Cellar Pinotage Rose 2010

A Rose made in a lighter style of summer drinking from our true South African grape variety Pinotage. The reason why we select Pinotage is for its tremendous fruit and lovely peach flavours.

This wine shows ample summer fruits on the nose - it is highly concentrated with raspberry, cherries and ripe peach and apricot notes. These flavours are carried forward onto the palate ending in a rich and soft aftertaste.

To be enjoyed with salads, pizzas or any occasion that calls for cheerful celebration!!
