With January firmly in the rearview mirror, attentions turn to February and Valentine’s Day. The year’s traditional red and pink-day, has always been a time of warm emotions, and an even warmer climate!
While it might seem cliché to suggest, Rosé seems like the perfect compromise for a South African Valentine’s Day. Perfect for those lazy afternoons by the pool, Lanzerac’s Pinotage Rosé entices with strawberries, rosewater and candy floss.
Made from 100% Pinotage, this iconic Rosé, held in high regard by many generations of Stellenbosch wine-lovers, strikes the perfect balance between offering a fresh taste to those who prefer white wine, whilst having a prolonged aftertaste and a lighter acidity to appeal to steadfast red wine afficionados. To achieve the light colour, the Pinotage grapes are lightly pressed and the first juice is separated to be used for Rosé, a method referred to as Saignée in France.
Rosé, just as any good relationship, is a compromise. Satisfying both red and white wine drinkers is never easy. This Valentines Day make that choice a little easier with a Lanzerac Rosé.
