Want something pink, sweet and ridiculously easy to say yes to? This is your bottle. It pours a glowing rose-petal pink and drinks like a handful of ripe raspberries dipped in candy, with a little floral muscat lift that makes everyone go "ooh" on the first sip. Get it properly cold, pour for the table, and watch even the "I don't really do wine" crowd come back for a top-up. Late hang, a balcony, music low. Done.
Big, juicy and unapologetically sweet, but not sticky. You'll smell ripe red berries and a pretty floral muscat note, almost like grape sweets. The first sip is raspberry and strawberry with a splash of tropical fruit and that candy sweetness, all kept in line by a fresh streak of acidity so it never feels heavy. Soft, satiny, and the muscat perfume lingers after you swallow. Think dessert you can drink, with the volume turned up.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Rooiberg Winery in Robertson, a sunny valley in South Africa's Western Cape known for limestone-rich soils and seriously good grapes. Rooiberg started back in 1964 as a co-op of local farmers working the Robertson valley together, and they still pool fruit from a cluster of family farms today. The grape here is Pinotage, South Africa's own homegrown variety, bled off pink and made in a natural sweet style that leaves plenty of fruit sugar in the glass.
