Bright salmon pink. Fresh and fruity nose coated with strawberry creme, melon, watermelon and white flowers. High acidity (7/10) and light bodied. Zesty, floral and fruity on the palate. Layered with rose water, strawberries and melon. Long finish.

Found this for sale at Wine Concepts on Kloof Street in Cape Town and could not restrain myself. We needed to see where this wine is two years later. We were not disappointed. This bottling is made up of 63% Grenache, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah, 9% Cinsault and 7% Cabernet Franc. The fruit comes from various areas in the Coastal Region, like Wellington and Stellenbosch for the Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault as well as Franschhoek Valley for both Cabernets. Gently pressed as whole bunches before settling in the steel tanks for 12 hours and being removed from the lees.

Second wine for Christmas at my Uncles house in South Africa. Beautiful light salmon pink. Lots of layers on the nose with notes of watermelon, strawberries, and white flowers. High acidity (7/10) and light bodied. Zesty and crisp on the palate. Lovely roses, strawberries, melon and watermelon. Insanely long and lingering finish. Perfect for the hot summer day today, love what Thierry is doing in SA!

Love what Thierry is doing with this Rosé and with all the wines and barrels we tasted today at the Holden Manz Wine Estate with Wayne Buckley-Koch (Marketing Director) and Gerard Holden (Owner).

Very excited to try out the 2018 if we get a chance, it is supposed to be lighter and more elegant with less Cabernet.
