🌸 False Bay Cinsault Mourvedre 2022 Dry Rose wine is a dry South African rosé with a refreshing, food-friendly character. Cinsault and Mourvèdre bring together coastal fruit and a gently savoury personality, making it a welcome choice for a relaxed lunch, an aperitif or a dinner that calls for something lighter than a red. This 750ml bottle has 12.5% alcohol and comes from W.O. Coastal Region.
🌿 Whole Bunch describes a deliberate approach to making rosé. Hand-picked grapes from sustainably farmed, low-yielding coastal vineyards are pressed gently as complete bunches in a basket press. The aim is delicate extraction and pure juice. Naturally occurring wild yeasts then lead the fermentation, in keeping with False Bay’s philosophy of minimal intervention and letting well-balanced grapes express themselves.
🍇False Bay Cinsault Mourvedre 2022 Dry Rose wine - The established house style is pale, gently spicy and textural, with summer fruit flavours and a clean, savoury, dry finish. That balance gives the wine an inviting place at the table: there is fruit to enjoy on its own, but enough personality to accompany a meal. Cinsault forms the foundation of the blend, while Mourvèdre contributes depth; proportions can change between harvests.
🍽️ For an easy pairing, choose grilled fish, a tuna steak, seafood or a fresh salad. Sushi and smoked salmon are also appealing serving ideas when you want the meal to feel light and fresh. Try it with simple ingredients first, allowing the wine’s dry finish and delicate spice to complement the food.
🌡️ Serve False Bay Cinsault Mourvedre 2022 Dry Rose wine chilled, around 8–10°C.
