  1. FOR SUNNY AFTERNOONS

    WATERFORD ROSE-MARY

    Made in the Helderberg area near Stellenbosch, the Waterford Rose-Mary rosé is an elegant option for lovers of pink wine. The result of a particularly dry and moderate season, the Rose-Mary boasts a clean and fresh flavour that will have you sipping away all summer. Strikingly blush in colour, this carefully crafted wine tastes of raspberry and its low alcohol content means it pairs perfectly with light meals.

  2. FOR DINNER PARTIES

    DIEMERSDAL GRENACHE ROSÉ
    The Durbanville Valley is one of the Western Cape's oldest wine regions. Diemersdal has become a household name and, after tasting the Grenache Rosé, it's easy to see why.
