Pink, but with attitude. This is a Shiraz rosé, so under all that juicy strawberry there's a little peppery spice that keeps things interesting. Pour it cold on a hot Nairobi evening and it just works, whether you're firing up the grill or you've got nothing planned but good company. Light enough to keep sipping, characterful enough that you'll actually want to.
First sniff is all summer: canned peaches and a squeeze of blood orange. Then the sip lands with juicy red apple and ripe strawberry, the kind of fruit that makes you go back for more. Right at the end there's a flick of black-pepper spice from the Shiraz and a gentle warmth that lingers. It's fruity and friendly without being sweet or sugary, so it stays fresh glass after glass.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Welmoed comes out of Stellenbosch, the heart of South African wine country. The farm has serious history: it was first granted to Cape governor Simon van der Stel back in 1690, so people have been making wine on this land for well over three centuries. Today it's part of Stellenbosch Vineyards, who keep the range honest and affordable. This rosé is made from 100% Shiraz, which is why it carries a touch more spice and backbone than your average pink.
