The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Leopard's Leap in Franschhoek, deep in South Africa's Western Cape. The name 1659 is a nice nod to history: that's the year the very first wine was pressed at the Cape, from vines planted in Cape Town's Company's Gardens. The range is built to be the easy, good-value end of serious winemaking, sunshine fruit with none of the snobbery. This rosé leans on Muscat de Alexandrie grapes, which is exactly why it smells so floral and fruity.
