The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
There's fantastic news for rosé lovers and admirers of the Oude Kaap winery. The renowned South African winery Oude Kaap has created a magnificent rosé, the Oude Kaap Rosé. What makes this pink jewel so special is the unique Pinotage grape, the shining star of South Africa. This grape, a cross between the illustrious Cinsault and Pinot Noir, has done South Africa proud by placing the country more prominently on the wine list.
Founded by the renowned Douglas Green Bellingham winery, better known as the DGB Group, Oude Kaap has achieved unprecedented success since bottling its first wine in 1990. Over the years, the winery has strategically invested in its vineyards and their continued development. The favorable climatic conditions of Franschhoek, where the vineyards are bathed in sunshine but also benefit from cooling breezes, ensure even ripening of the grapes destined for Oude Kaap Rosé. Harvest time is crucial: the grapes are picked at daybreak, preserving their freshness. This ensures that Oude Kaap Rosé possesses an unmistakable freshness and ripeness.
The sight of the Oude Kaap Rosé Blanc de Noir is a treat in itself; an enchanting light salmon pink hue resulting from just 20 minutes of fermentation with the skins of the Pinotage grape. This results in a rosé that is neither too dry nor too sweet, but perfectly balanced. The Oude Kaap Rosé seduces you with aromas of lush summer fruits like strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and currants, interwoven with subtle hints of pink candy. The harmony between aroma and flavor in the Oude Kaap Rosé is simply enchanting.
The Oude Kaap Rosé Blanc de Noir is more than just a wine; it's an experience. A glass of this rosé is a celebration of the craftsmanship of the Oude Kaap winery. For those who demand the best, who desire a symphony of flavors and aromas in their glass, the Oude Kaap Rosé is the ultimate choice. Join the growing community of enthusiasts and discover for yourself why the Oude Kaap Rosé is such a coveted choice among connoisseurs.
