Description
In a nutshell:
A pale and fresh Rosé from the Western Cape of South Africa.
The lowdown:
False Bay produce fantastic, sustainably made wines available at great prices, and their 'Whole Bunch' rosé is no exception to that. The grapes mostly come from old bush vines in the Swatland region, but also with some fruit from Stellenbosch as well, all sustainable grown, hand picked and whole bunch pressed. Made from 90% Cinsault with a little Mouvedre as well, the wine is pale in colour with a soft palate of summer berry fruits, a touch of spice, and a dry finish.
The Producer:
Named after South Africa's most iconic bay, which frames much of the country's premium winelands, False Bay Vineyards was founded in 1994 by Paul Boutinot who came to the Western Cape to seek out and rescue grapes from old, under-appreciated vineyards that were destined to be lost in the large co-operative blends that were dominating South Africa's wine industry back then. Somewhat ahead of his time, Paul transformed these gems into wines with a minimum of intervention: wild yeast ferments, no acid additions etc. It's a familiar story to many 'real wine' lovers now, but back then he was swimming against the tide. And even today, making wine this way at the modest price-level they ask for their wines is not something you'll come across too often.
When to drink:
Perfect just drunk on its own but will pair well with a range of Mediteranean dishes including pan fried garlic prawns.
Suitable for Vegans
