Cederberg Sustainable Rose 2011

This Shiraz-based Rosé is translucent coral pink in appearance; and displays heaps of black and red summer berries and watermelon. In addition it offers an underlying spiciness to the fruit profile. It has a dry entry with balanced structure, but backed by its invigorating acidity which finishes clean with persistence.
