Niel Joubert Blanc De Noir Rose 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)Pour this when you want pink wine that actually means it. It's properly dry, so no sticky sweetness, just bright strawberry and a clean snap that makes you go back for the next sip. Chill it hard, crack it on the balcony as the heat drops, and let it carry you into the evening. The fun fact you can drop later: it's made from red Pinotage grapes but barely kissed with their skins, which is how a red grape turns out blush-pink.
Stick your nose in and it's all strawberries and fresh red berries, with a soft floral lift like rose petals and a whisper of candy floss. The sip is light, dry and lively. Think crushed strawberry and a flash of cherry, then a clean, fresh finish that doesn't hang around being sweet. Easy company, never heavy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Niel Joubert Wines, a family farm on the slopes of the Simonsberg just outside Paarl in South Africa's Western Cape. The Jouberts have farmed this land since 1898, now into the fifth generation, and they only put their own name on the label in 1994. The home farm, Klein Simonsvlei, sits among five hills and ten dams fed by a natural mountain spring. Proper hands-on family winemaking, not a faceless brand.
