Iona
Iona is the coolest vineyard in the Cape 420m above sea-level high above the picturesque Elgin Valley. It is surrounded by the Kogelberg Nature Reserve and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean in the South. In a country where cool sites are precious these vineyards are like gold — the grapes ripening up to two months later than other Cape vineyards and in perfect balance.
Description
The Iona Sophie Le Rose 2023 opens with a vibrant and fresh nose, featuring aromas of strawberries, wild berries, and cranberries, complemented by a hint of sweet spice. The palate is lively and textured with a crisp, clean finish. Delicate hints of candied fruit also linger, adding a delightful complexity to this rosé.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with sushi, fresh salads, or light seafood dishes, thanks to its refreshing acidity and berry-driven profile. It also works well on its own as a refreshing aperitif.
