Pour this and you get summer in a glass. Bright pink, all juicy strawberry and raspberry, then it dries off clean so you keep reaching for the next sip. It's a dry rosé, not a sweet one, so it's easygoing without ever turning sticky. Get it properly cold and it's your move for a Friday on the balcony, a late catch-up, or anything off the grill.
First sniff is a basket of red berries: ripe strawberry, raspberry, a little floral lift like rose petals. The taste follows through, soft and juicy with fresh red fruit and a tiny whisper of spice from the Pinotage. Then the acidity kicks in and tidies everything up, so the finish is crisp and dry rather than syrupy. Light, fruity, and very pour-again.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Tall Horse is a South African brand born in 2005, with fruit from the Western Cape, where Cape Mountain slopes catch cooling sea breezes. The giraffe on the label is the whole reason for the odd name. Centuries back, when giraffes were a mystery outside Africa, people called them 'tall horse'. In 1824 the Sultan of Egypt shipped one to the King of France, and the towering creature drew huge crowds in Paris. The wine carries that same 'wait, what is that' charm. The grape here is Pinotage, South Africa's own crossing, made in a fresh pink style instead of the usual bold red.
