Riebeek Pinotage Rosé offers this exclusive South African cultivar in a dryer, but fresh and fruity style. An elegant Rosé bursting with flavours of fresh strawberries and ripe cherries, but without the cloying sweetness of an average Rosé.

Enjoy well-chilled with lighter meals like pasta, salmon and salads or as a glass on its own with good friends.
