Kanonkop 'Kadette' Pinotage Rose

This 2022 pale pink rose hails from South Africa. Kanonkop, named after a hillside where cannons were fired to signal ship arrivals, started crafting wines in 1976 and has been making outstanding wines ever since. Paul and Johann Krige, 4th - generation winemakers, manage the Kanonkop estate in the Coastal Region of South Africa. Different agriculturists carefully planned each vineyard. The granite - clay soils hold water, providing a solid base for the vines and promoting healthy growth. The slow - ripening conditions of this vintage allowed the grapes to fully mature and concentrate before harvest. This 100% Pinotage rose has an unexpected richness. It delicately offers notes of saltiness, spice, and citrus, along with hints of summer berries and melon. It's extremely food - friendly and pairs perfectly with a seared ahi tuna steak or garlic butter roasted chicken.

To enjoy this Kanonkop 'Kadette' Pinotage Rose, simply chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving. Pour it into a wine glass and take in the lovely aroma before sipping. It's great for any casual gathering or a nice dinner at home. Keep it stored in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can affect the taste. When you're done, make sure to cork the bottle tightly to keep it fresh for the next time you want to enjoy it.
