Foothills Vineyards Dry Rosé 2022

Foothills Vineyards Dry Rosé 2022

R105,00

Delicate copper pink, showcased by a flint bottle. An original blend, designed to offer something different. Shiraz for the colour and berry flavour, Semillon for the mouthfeel and Viognier for the aromatic perfume and tropical notes. The effect is complex, with interwoven layers of fresh strawberries, greengage, a touch of winter melon and fynbos, and Viognier’s floral top note. It’s expressive yet elegant and sophisticated. And bone dry, which means food pairing is no problem, yet also good enough to drink on its own.

More Information

In the cellar

Foothills' experienced winemaker, Bernard Le Roux has been a part of the Foothills team since early 2014 and is passionate about producing site specific wines which reflect our unique terroir. The vines for the grapes used in this wine were planted in 2008 and 2009 and 6 tons/ha were harvested for the making of this dry rose.

In the vineyard

Located in the foothills of the towering Helderberg mountains, a mere 6km from False Bay and within sight of the Atlantic Ocean, these relatively high altitude vineyards enjoy the full benefit of cooling sea breezes and rolling ocean mists. The southern sloping, well-drained sand, gravel and granitic clay soils contribute to an ideal terroir promoting a natural balance between the vigour of the young vines and their yields.

Ageing

This wine can be enjoyed now. It can age for a further five years if stored in the ideal conditions.

Cultivar

83% Shiraz, Semillon, Viognier

Food Pairing

Elegant, dry, clean and fresh, this is the quintessential food wine, can partner with almost anything.
