Boschendal The Rosé Garden

A rosé from Franschhoek in South Africa that delivers exactly what its salmon-pink color promises: light, fruity, and easy to drink.

Boschendal is one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa – founded in 1685 in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley, surrounded by the foothills of the Drakenstein Mountains. The estate combines Huguenot winemaking tradition with modern cellar techniques and is now one of the most renowned wineries in the Cape region.

In the glass, it displays a clear salmon pink color. After two hours of skin contact and subsequent cooling in stainless steel tanks, fresh aromas of strawberry, raspberry , and a hint of rose petal develop. On the palate, it is light-bodied with moderate acidity and a short, clean finish – semi-dry in character, without being heavy.
