Simonsig Needless to Say Rosé 2023

 This rosé showcases a colour of cotton candy sunset radiating from the glass. Its aromatic profile has wonderful aromas of strawberry sherbet, passion fruit and ripe pineapple with subtle notes of white blossoms. On the palate, a zesty tingle of acidity carries the fruit and with a light, creamy texture. It makes for a balanced, elegant wine for all occasions. 

Seafood pasta, fresh salads with a salmon twist, various Thai food dishes and sushi.

AWARDS
2023 Rosé Rocks - Double Gold
 

ageing : Early drinking style, at its best within 2 years of vintage date.

in the cellar : The grapes are all handpicked from specially selected blocks of vineyards and crushed in separate lots to ensure the best blending options for this wine. The Chenin Blanc and Pinotage grapes were crushed, and the juice was immediately separated from the skins after very gentle pressing. The juice settled brilliantly clear and was inoculated with a specially selected yeast. Fermentation took place at 12-14°C to ensure a slow fermentation, enhancing the formation of fruit flavours.
