Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Rosé, Coastal Region

A rosé made from 100% Cinsault. Cinsault is the fourth most widely planted grape variety in France, and responsible for much of the rosé production there, it is therefore perhaps unsurprising that it does an equally good job under the ‘Mediterranean' sun experienced in South Africa. Unoaked with only a few hours of skin contact to extract the colour, this is a fresh light-bodied wine with delicate notes of red fruits and floral notes, ideally served lightly chilled.

The team believe the key to selling wine in the on-trade is to understand how the wine behaves on the floor and owning their own hotel/restaurant gives them opportunity to practise, they can stand alongside Matthew Clark customers and understand their work. Winemaker, Alastair Rimmer, likes the diversity that terroir affords, his focus keenly attuned to the styles of wine that work in various markets, as well as reflecting the unique, intrinsic terroir of the wines he produces
