De Grendel Wines Rose

Rosé made from 50% Pinotage and 50% Cab Sauv… say what?!?

There was no doubt that I had to include this De Grendel 2017 Rosé in last months The TC Wine Club box, has anyone else tried it yet?

Pinotage is South Africa’s signature grape variety. It’s a red grape and it’s a cross between the grapes Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.

I enjoyed this rosé with my parents as I know my mum is rather fond of rosé. We found it a rather peachy, nearly copper colour on the eye. Red fruits, apple and a slight hint of sweet anise wheels rose up from the glass. While in the mouth it’s dry with refreshingly juicy notes of strawberries and watermelon. I’d definitely drink it again!

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #winesample #tcweekdaywine
