Circumstance, Cape Coral Mourvedre, Rosé, South Africa 2010
A very serious Cape Rosé. Beautifully dry, but firm with an evocative herby character. Elegant fresh red fruit flavours allow for immediate appeal. The pale onion-skin colour is reminiscent of a typical Blanc de Noir from the South of France. '...there are some dreadfully dreary roses around at the moment. Thankfully, here's one that is more than just a pretty face. Dry and rich, with herby, even pine-like notes to the gentle juicy citrus and raspberry flavours and a taut pithy finish, it cries out for seafood' Simon Woods, Wine and Spirit Magazine, June 2008.
