Rietvallei John B Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Rose 2012

The wine has a lovely floral bouquet expressing a mixture of berry-fruit flavours which carries through to the palate leaving a long-lasting aftertaste... A fresh, fruity dry rosé for everyday enjoyment.

A perfect partner for salads, seafood and light meals in general. Ideal for outdoor picnics and no need for a corkscrew, it's a screw-cap! Serve chilled (7 - 10° C).
