Kanonkop Kadette Rosé 2011

A full bodied wine with more onion skin colour rather than red/pink. Typical Pinotage floral aromas with prominent red fruit flavours.

Seafood or light pasta style dishes.Staying with the Kanonkop philosophy this first for Kanonkop is a full bodied food wine. Add a bit of 'ice for spice'.
