There is a certain grace to rosé. Its delicate hue, vibrant character and effortless sophistication have long made it a wine synonymous with celebration. This August, as we honour the remarkable women who shape our families, communities and future, rosé offers the perfect accompaniment to moments shared with those who inspire us most.

Women’s Month is an invitation to pause, reflect and celebrate the strength, resilience and elegance of the women in our lives. Whether gathered around a beautifully set table, enjoying a leisurely brunch or toasting to lifelong friendships, every occasion deserves a wine that is as expressive as the memories being created.

Rosé captures that spirit beautifully.

Behind every bottle of exceptional rosé lies a careful balance of artistry and restraint. Gentle skin contact lends the wine its captivating blush, while preserving the bright fruit purity and refreshing acidity that define its style.

The result is a wine of remarkable versatility, revealing layers of wild strawberries, ripe raspberries, fragrant rose petals and delicate citrus notes. Refined yet approachable, rosé is equally at home as an elegant aperitif, paired with seasonal cuisine or transformed into a beautifully crafted cocktail.

While rosé is exceptional on its own, it also lends itself effortlessly to sophisticated cocktails that enhance its natural freshness without overshadowing its character. 

At Lanzerac, every vine tells a story of resilience, patience and growth. So do the women who bring our estate to life.  From the cellar to the kitchen, the gardens to the table, every woman leaves her mark, shaping moments that become lasting memories. This August, delight your loved ones with a signature Lanzerac cocktail to celebrate the women in our lives.

The Lanzerac Rosé Spritz

Combine 100ml chilled Jonkershoek Pinotage Rosé with sparkling water and Lanzerac Brut Cap Classique over crystal-clear ice and garnish with fresh strawberries and a slice of orange. The result is light, refreshing and effortlessly refined. Perfect for a leisurely afternoon overlooking the vineyards, or sharing with friends

The Lanzerac Rosé Cocktail

For a simple late afternoon delight, start with 100ml of cranberry juice, adding 100ml of Jonkershoek Pinotage Rosé. Top it off with your favourite lemonade and garnish with red berries. The cranberry tartness and rosé acidity balance with the lemonade for a perfect combination of sweet and sour.

Rosé’s refined acidity and delicate fruit profile make it one of the most versatile wines on the table.

Consider serving alongside:

  • Smoked salmon with crème fraîche
  • Creamy burrata with heirloom tomatoes
  • Soft-ripened cheeses and seasonal fruit
  • Delicate berry desserts or French macarons

Each pairing allows the wine’s freshness and complexity to shine while complementing the subtle flavours of the cuisine.

The finest celebrations are seldom defined by grandeur alone, but by the people with whom they are shared.

This Women’s Month, we raise our glasses to the women whose passion, kindness, determination and generosity enrich our lives each day. To mothers and daughters, sisters and friends, mentors and colleagues; thank you for the stories you write, the traditions you preserve and the futures you continue to shape.

May every glass shared become a celebration of connection and appreciation.
