Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
A pale, refreshing Swartland rosé built on the Rhône-leaning trio of Cinsault, Grenache, and Carignan — grapes that Adi Badenhorst handles with a notably deft, low-intervention hand. Expect a bone-dry, strawberry-forward palate with a savoury herb edge and a crisp, mouthwatering finish that keeps you reaching for another glass. It's unpretentious and genuinely food-friendly in the Provençal tradition, though with a distinctly South African wildness to it.
