Terblanche Family Vineyards
Together, husband and wife, Etienne and Lizanda Terblanche, set out to showcase a side of Pinotage that is not considered the norm. Striving to weave the subtle thread of place from soil to glass, and only working with small parcels and winemaking on boutique-scale, the petit Maison Terblanche could be the smallest Rosé specialist in South Africa, if not the world!
Description
"Top viticulturist Etienne Terblanche, also one of the partners in Thistle & Weed, makes this excellent rosé under his own label. Sourced from vines planted in 1976, it’s a Pinotage pink that out-Provences Provence, with rosehip, raspberry and wild cherry flavours, a hint of wood and a savoury, dry finish. 2026-30" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2026, 93 points, Overall Rosé of the Year
Food Pairing
A perfect accompaniment with seafood dishes like grilled salmon and tuna, sushi and peri-peri prawns, as well as salads and quiche. The slight hint of sweetness on the finish lends itself to pair well with spicy dishes and light, aromatic curries too.
