Characteristics:
Dry rosé with a pale blush-pink colour. Abundant plum and berry flavours are balanced by vibrant acidity. The wine spent 2 to 3 months on fine lees to develop a full, well-rounded palate. Textured, dry, and long-lasting, with a lingering finish. Blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Malbec, Carignan and Shiraz.
Food Pairing:
Attractive as an aperitif, or serve with light salads, light pasta and rice dishes, especially with seafood, shellfish and grilled fish and goats’ cheeses. Delicious with salade niçoise and paella. Perfect for BBQ or hot weather drinking.
About the winery:
Protea wines are handcrafted at L’Ormarins Wine Estate in Franschhoek. History goes back to 1694 when Huguenot Jean Roi planted 4000 vines beneath the jagged peaks of the Groot Drakenstein Mountains. The range is named after the Protea flower which is so distinctive of the rich Cape Floristic region. The wines are fresh and clean, have an appealing style and are packed in an innovative and re-usable bottle.
