Mountain Rose Vintage Brut Rosé Pinot Noir

Mountain Rose will evolve beautifully over time, pairing seamlessly with oysters, seared tuna, goat’s cheese, wild mushroom arancini - or simply enjoyed at golden-hour picnics.

High-altitude Pinot Noir blocks on decomposed-granite terraces drive volume and richness from Stellenbosch and minerality with purity of fruit from the West Coast. This provides naturally firm acidity and delicate red-berry aromatics. Warm Mediterranean days alongside cool southeasterly breezes lock in freshness, while granite shale soils impart linearity and length. Sustainable farming promotes biodiversity and soil health.

Hand-picked at dawn in early January 2020, only the purest cuvée fraction was retained after whole-bunch pressing. Fermented cool in stainless steel, the base wine was tiraged in Spring 2020 with 60 months on the lees; 36 months being spent sur lattes prior to riddling. Disgorged in Spring 2025, Mountain Rose shows creamy lees texture, ultra-fine mousse and layered autolytic complexity. Named after the beautiful Mountain Rose, or Protea Nana (nana in Latin, meaning ‘dwarf’), its making ensures the bubbles are small yet persistent, such as the Mountain Rose thriving in the harshest of conditions. A happenstance that the flower also exudes a yeast-like aroma.
