Lanzerac Pinotage Rosé 2017

An iconic wine held in high regard by many generations of Stellenbosch wine-lovers, the Lanzerac Pinotage Rosé lives up to its name with gentle aromatic notes of perfume and rose petals, crushed strawberries and redcurrants. It enjoyed a mere 2 hours of skin contact to give it its delicate colour and soft fruit flavours. A dry, perfumed and fruity rosé that is perfect for easy sipping during the warmer summer months.

Enjoy this Rosé on lazy summer days with fruit skewers or a strawberry and salmon salad. Also try it with spicy prawns or a Thai green curry.
