Vergelegen Florence Rosé 2023 is a fresh and elegant rosé from Vergelegen, one of South Africa’s most prestigious estates, known for its rich winemaking heritage and commitment to quality. Named after Florence, the wife of Vergelegen’s first owner, this rosé is crafted to embody grace and refinement. Made from a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it captures a balance of delicate fruit flavours, crisp acidity, and a refined texture.

The 2023 vintage benefited from a moderate growing season, allowing for slow ripening and excellent fruit expression. Gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserve the wine’s freshness, ensuring a vibrant and refreshing style.

Appearance: Pale salmon pink with a brilliant clarity, reflecting its delicate and refined nature.

Aroma: The nose is bright and aromatic, offering notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon, complemented by hints of citrus zest and floral undertones of rose petals and orange blossom.

Taste: Light-bodied and crisp, the palate delivers refreshing red berry flavours, including cranberry and pomegranate, balanced by a lively citrus backbone of grapefruit and lime. A subtle mineral touch adds depth, while the wine’s vibrant acidity ensures a clean and elegant profile.

Finish: Long and refreshing, with lingering notes of red fruit and a delicate saline minerality, leaving a crisp and invigorating impression.

Food Pairing: Vergelegen Florence Rosé 2023 pairs beautifully with grilled prawns with lemon butter, where its acidity and freshness enhance the dish’s natural sweetness. It also complements Mediterranean-style salads with feta and pomegranate, as the wine’s fruitiness and crispness balance the dish’s savoury elements. Best served well-chilled for maximum enjoyment.
