Protea Rosé 2025
Protea wines are produced under the umbrella of Anthonij Rupert Wine Estate, a longstanding Franschhoek-area producer with roots dating back to the 17th century. The Protea range is named for South Africa’s national flower and reflects a commitment to approachable, food-friendly wines that speak to the Cape’s diversity of coastal and inland vineyard sites. The Protea Rosé 2025 is crafted from a harmonious blend of red varietals - including Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Grenache and others - picked for fresh, bright fruit and fermented cool in stainless steel. Lees contact for a few months adds subtle texture without compromising the wine’s vivacity.
Colour:
Pale blush-pink in the glass, glowing and inviting.
Nose:
Delicate aromas of strawberry and raspberry merge with gentle floral notes. There’s a hint of citrus and red-berry compote, offering both freshness and a touch of sweet spice.
Palate:
The palate is juicy and refreshing, with bright red fruit characters - think wild strawberry, raspberry and a touch of plummy softness - balanced by crisp acidity. A slight citrus tang keeps things lively, and the fruit carries neatly without feeling overly sweet.
Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering berry fruit and a refreshing, dry close that invites another sip.
- Food Pairing : Protea Rosé 2025’s fresh acidity and bright red fruit profile make it a versatile partner on the table. It pairs effortlessly with lighter South African fare like grilled kingklip with lemon and herbs or a chilled seafood platter featuring prawns and oysters - the vibrant fruit complements the ocean flavours without overpowering them. A summery tomato-and-basil salad with feta or a Mediterranean mezze board with olives, grilled vegetables and soft goat’s cheese brings out the wine’s gentle citrus notes while keeping the palate fresh.
- Drink before: Best enjoyed within 1–3 years of vintage - fresh rosés are at their most expressive young.
