Vondeling Rose 750ml 2021
Pour this cold and the night sorts itself out. Vondeling Rosé 2021 is that pale salmon-pink, properly dry rosé that smells like fresh strawberries and tastes like a good mood. Light enough to drink while you cook, alive enough to hold up next to whatever comes off the grill. Sundowner on the balcony, a long catch-up that runs late, a Friday that needs no occasion. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour.
Vibrant salmon pink in the glass, and the nose hits with crushed strawberries, a slice of watermelon and a soft floral lift, almost like lavender. Sip it and it's dry, not sweet, with juicy red berries and a little citrus zip that keeps everything fresh and clean. There's a gentle roundness underneath (that comes from time resting on the lees) so it feels textured, not thin. The acidity does the heavy lifting, snapping it back crisp on the finish so your next sip is already calling.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Vondeling sits on the granite slopes of the Paardeberg in Voor-Paardeberg, near Paarl in South Africa's Western Cape. The name means "foundling," a nod to the farm's long history dating back to 1704. The rosé is unusual in a good way: it's made from 100% Merlot, cold-pressed off old vines (the anchor block is over 20 years old) on decomposed-granite soil. Afternoon south-westerly winds keep the grapes cool and lively even in a warm region, which is exactly why this drinks so fresh. Pale colour, dry style, all on purpose.
