Florence Pinotage Rose

Charcuterie and cheese match well with this elegant Rose, or try pairing it with a combination of Feta, spinach, mint and quinoa tartlets. A beautiful reflection of the versatility of Pinotage in the cellar.

Moderate weather throughout the season, and specifically during harvest time, resulted in grapes ripening slower, while developing exceptional colour and flavour. The harvest began two weeks later than normal due to unusually cool weather conditions throughout the season, which persisted throughout harvest time and resulted in us harvesting our last grapes at the start of April. The abnormally high rains during the growth season topped up the soil water levels and reduced vine stress after the previous few years of drought. To summarize, a tricky vintage that kept winemakers and viticulturists on their toes and resulted in outstanding wines of great character.

The 27 hectare wine estate from the Dutch entrepreneurial couple Marianne & Fons Aaldering, no strangers to the travel catering industry as founders of MarFo and Delta Dailyfood, is located in picture-perfect Stellenbosch South Africa and boasts a unique and special microclimate which results in flourishing vines producing top-quality grapes. Aaldering Vineyards & Wines is very happy to embrace Pinotage at the Aaldering Estate, by virtue of the sense of proud of South Africa and its varietal. The perfect terroir to cultivate top quality fruit and to aim for preserving the intrinsic quality of the grapes into the bottle makes it that Aaldering takes part in the cult revolution of top quality Pinotage wines. The treasure that you will find in Aaldering wine is the dazzling fruit expression, with finesse and elegance.
