Painted Wolf the den, Pinotage Rose 2018

A bright, fruity wine with strawberry, cherry and cranberry flavours, a gentle, underlying minerality and a fresh lingering finish.

A superb multitasker. Especially good with peri peri prawn, Greek style lemon chicken, ratatouille, calamari, fish and chips, meze, tapas and just about anything else delicious and garlicy.

The den wines are social wines to be enjoyed with friends and family. These wines are named for the den, the heart of all Painted Wolf communities. Flavour-packed, soft and juicy comfort wines for good every day drinking. Our friend Jenny Metelerkamp produced a fine ink drawing for the label.

in the vineyard : Pinotage grapes were sourced from a number of block of older vines on Leeuwenkuil farm in Paarl.

in the cellar : We set out to make the most delicious and compelling dry rosé from Pinotage. The grapes are hand harvested into small baskets and taken to the cellar where they were destalked, gently crushed, and cooled before being left on skins for roughly 2 hours. Juice was then drawn off the skins and cold fermented in tank for this saigneé rosé
