International Rosé Day is on 28 June, so we are dedicating this day to all things rosé.
Who says rosé is just for summer? Crafted from a variety of red grapes, rosé is made by allowing the grape skins to briefly touch the juice, resulting in a wide range of flavours, from crisp and fruity to dry and floral.
This pink wine is approachable by nature and it pairs effortlessly with a variety of dishes, from light salads and seafood to spicy cuisines, making it a popular choice for any occasion.
We have selected six of the very best South African rosés for you to try out, and then you can come back and stock up on those you love!
