VineVenom, Shining NV – R 170
'From Paardeberg grapes, this is made in a Spanish-inspired, oxidative style – partially filled barrels, some light flor ageing and including a maderised component. Subtle and appealing aromatics of orange, red apple, cherry, spice and even a touch of earthiness. The palate is broad and gently flavourful. It’s an understated wine that hangs together well.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 91/100
GD Vajra, Rosabella Rosato 2021 – R 275
‘The 2021 Rosato Rosabella is so understated yet pretty, capturing the eye with its pale pink color, and then the senses with nuances of rose, strawberries and a dusting of spice. Its soothingly soft, with a pleasant inner sweetness offset by vibrant acidity and citrus-tinged orchard fruits. This leaves the palate completely refreshed, as a salty flourish punctuates the experience quite nicely. The Rosabella is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo, 10% Barbera and 5% Dolcetto.’ – Eric Guido, Vinous, 90/100
Coterie, Cinsault Rosé 2022 – R 181
‘Grapes from the same Paardeberg vineyard that supplies Rhenosterbosrug. Matured for 10 months, 90% in tank and 10% in barrel. Peach, tangerine and hay on the nose while the palate has good fruit concentration and well-integrated acidity. Deep and smooth textured in the best sense.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 90/100
Lievland, Liefkoos Rosé 2023 – R 210
This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2022 tasting notes:
'Riaan Möller makes this stylishly packaged Stellenbosch rosé from an assemblage of Syrah and 47% Mourvèdre. Rosehip and watermelon aromas segue into a palate of pink grapefruit and wild strawberry and a tangy, bone-dry finish. Just the thing for a Cape summer day. 2023-24' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2023, 92/100
Van Loggerenberg Wines, Break a Leg Blanc de Noir 2021 – R 160
‘This is a light, refreshing an elegant style dry Rosé with a pale peachy colour. The wine exhibits a delicate fruitiness of red berries and hints of citrus and on the palate it shows hints of thyme and a touch of salinity. Overall the wine has a harmonious balance between fruitiness, freshness and dryness.’ – Winemaker
Can Sumoi, La Rosa 2022 – R 320
This vintage has not been rated yet, see 2021 tasting notes:
‘Bright, salmon skin color. Spice-accented raspberry, cherry and orange pith aromas, along with a pit fruit quality that builds with air. In a fresh, lively style, offering intense citrus fruit and red berry flavors and hints of candied flowers and white pepper. Finishes with firm cut and mineral-tinged persistence, leaving a dusty mineral note behind. 2022-2024’ – Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91/100
