Beyerskloof Pinotage Rosé 2009

A fresh Rosé with an inviting and elegant coral pink colour. On the nose there is an unexpected abundance of tropical fruit flavours, floral notes of violet and vibrant sweet red berries. Soft entry, succulent, velvety strawberry and raspberry flavours. Lingering, crisp after taste with a clean and refreshing finish. Perfect match for salads and any light seafood dishes. A international style Rosé, a good appetizer and ideally enjoyed when chilled.
