Meerendal Pinotage Blanc De Noir/Rose 2010

The wine has a brilliant light salmon pink colour. Fresh sweet strawberries and cream, with Turkish delight and candy floss flavours emerge from the glass. These excellent flavours continue on the palate and the perfect sugar and acid balance leave a soft and lingering fruity aftertaste. The wine is dry but the intense fruit flavours make this a great drinking as well as food wine.

This delightful Blanc de Noir will be very enjoyable with salads, fish, roast chicken, creamy pastas and pork. Always serve chilled.
