Rosé
Rosé wine is one of the most versatile and stylish wine styles, celebrated for its refreshing character and wide appeal. Made from red grapes with only brief skin contact, rosé takes on its delicate pink colour and light fruit flavours without the depth or tannin of a red wine.
Rosé can range from pale, dry, and elegant (as in Provence, France) to fruitier, fuller styles from Spain, Italy, or New World regions. Common flavours include strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, citrus, and melon, sometimes with floral or herbal notes. Most rosés are best enjoyed young, highlighting their crisp acidity and vibrant fruit.
For UK drinkers, rosé is a year-round choice: refreshing as a summer aperitif, but equally food-friendly with seafood, charcuterie, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, curries, and soft cheeses. Whether pale and mineral or juicy and fruit-forward, rosé offers a stylish balance of freshness and flavour in every glass.
Anthonij Rupert Wyne Protea Rosé 2025 (6 Bottles) Franschhoek, South Africa
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on the farm, L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert, who passed away in 2001, the farm was eventually taken over by his brother Johann Rupert in 2003 and the brand named after him. It was Johann Rupert who constructed a state-of-theart winemaking facility, catapulting the farm into a prestigious wine estate. The focus is on terroir specific wines and therefore it would seem obvious that the brand is made up of an impressive portfolio of farms representing the best in grape producing locations. The portfolio is made up of L’Ormarins from Franschhoek, Rooderust from Darling, Riebeeksrivier from the Swartland and Altima from isolated Elandskloof. Each site offers optimum varietal specific growing conditions, allowing Anthonij Rupert Wyne to adhere to the requirements of their different brands.
The nose is vibrant with abundant cherry and strawberry notes, complemented by subtle floral and citrus nuances. On the palate, intense flavours of raspberry, cherry, and strawberry emerge, offering a lively, succulent freshness balanced by a smooth, well-rounded body. A delicate hint of citrus, reminiscent of pink grapefruit, mirrors the nose and enhances the wine’s overall charm. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression.
