Chenin Blanc Pinotage Rosé 2021

Definitely an interesting cut. A rosé wine that comes from a blend of South Africa's two most representative grape varieties, Chenin Blanc and Pinotage. These are the "ingredients" of the Rosé proposed here by Simonsig. An organic, vegan wine made from grapes harvested in the Coastal Region, Stellenbosch. But let's proceed in order. The vineyards in this case are located about 200 meters above sea level. Chenin Blanc for 68% and Pinotage for the remainder. Hand-picked grapes, selected in the vineyard, and soon delivered to the winery to begin processing. Vinified in stainless steel, the color, salmon pink, comes from the brief skin contact to which the Pinotage is subjected. A super-fresh and pleasant wine, this rosé combines the best of both varietals. Chenin Blanc gives the blend its notes of fresh melon and peach and apricot, as well as distinct freshness. For its part, Pinotage adds hints of red berries and watermelon, also providing good structure. Perfect right from the aperitif, this rosé can accompany both fish and meat dishes. Also pleasant to accompany an end of a meal that is not too sweet, such as an apple pie.
