Cape Coral Rosé by Waterkloof 2024

This elegant Cape rosé takes its cue from the best Provençal styles, with a delicate pink hue and lovely aromas of pomegranate, raspberry, and a subtle flinty edge. Made entirely from Mourvèdre - just like the famous rosés of Bandol - it's all about finesse and balance. Soft red fruit flavours flow through a silky, textured palate, finishing crisp and refreshing. South African rosé often flies under the radar, but this one proves it deserves a spot at the table.

Perfect for long lazy afternoons, it pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes like grilled prawns, seared tuna, or a simple crab salad- the delicate fruit and crisp finish keep everything fresh and breezy.

Waterkloof is a certified organic and biodynamic estate on the windswept, coastal slopes of the Schapenberg above False Bay, with thriving soils, low yields and long growing seasons providing wonderfully balanced fruit. Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard and her team take a minimal-intervention approach in the cellar, so that the wines are true to the terroir. Behind it all is founder Paul Boutinot, whose wine-making story is closely entwined with the Southern Rhône, where the company he built has been sourcing and crafting blends for decades, and who saw in this South African terrain the chance to bring those Rhône-honed instincts together with a wine farm run in step with his values.
