Rooiberg Blanc Natural Sweet 75cl

This wine is crafted from 100% Muscat de Frontignan (also known as Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains) – a variety prized for its aromatic intensity. The must is fermented and stopped to retain natural residual sugar, making it a naturally sweet white wine rather than one boosted with external sweetening.The result: a wine that feels rich and luscious, yet maintains an underlying freshness and lift.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Pale straw with glints of gold; the bouquet opens with muscat vineyard perfume.
• Aromas: Vibrant tropical fruit – think ripe pineapple, mango and guava – layered over honeyed notes and soft muscat florals. Rooiberg describe it as “tropical fruit and attractive whiffs of muscat”.
• Palate: The sweetness is evident but well-integrated thanks to the acidity, giving structure and preventing the wine from feeling cloying. Flavours echo the aromatics: mango, ripe apricot, honeysuckle, with a honey-drizzle finish and a gentle muscat trail. The body is full and round, yet the acidity keeps it lively and vibrant.
• Finish: Long, sweet-fruit driven finish with a crisp, clean tail of muscat and honey.
  This wine is ideal served well chilled, and shines as a dessert wine or as an elegant aperitif.

Food Pairing

We recommend enjoying it on its own as a dessert wine, or pairing it with something sweet such as a Malva pudding, crème brûlée, fruit tart or mango mousse. Rooiberg themselves note it is “an excellent partner for desserts such as Malva pudding”. It also complements blue-cheese or creamy desserts where the sweetness balances the richness.
