Although Pinot Grigio is best known for the production of white wines, the grapes actually have a pink tinge to them when they are ripe. The wine gets its delicate pink colour from contact with the grape skins during the winemaking process.

This rosé is a very delicate, pale pink colour. The nose is fresh with notes of red berries and stone fruits. The palate has a lovely texture coupled with flavours of apricot, peach and white flowers which are well balanced with bright acidity.

The wine, the first ever Liberator Rosé and is one of Rick’s most confidential releases to date. It is made from Cinsault sourced from Otterkuil, a wheat, cattle and sheep farm (who also happen to supply grapes to the local Windmeul winery), located on the Durbanville Road in Agter-Paarl.

This charming Provencal rosé is brilliantly clear salmon pink in colour. Abound with redcurrant and wild strawberry perfumes that develop into juicy white peach and pear notes. On the palate, fresh acidity is balanced beautifully with the alchohol, giving an elegant mouthfeel and refreshing length.

A fragrant and well balanced wine, AIX`s hypnotising salmon pink colour reveals a fruity freshness and premium rosé. The nose is fresh and fragrant, delicate yet youthful and offers classy notes of watermelon, strawberries and flowers.

The `Break a Leg` rosé made by Lukas Van Loggerenberg is made from Cinsault from just two barrels of juice. It is a finely-textured wine, ripe and round with gorgeous softness, one of only a few such South African dry rosés. The quality shines through in this serious wine and more than stands up to some of the pricier southern Rhône versions.

Pale pink - Brad Pitt and Agelina Jolie were serious about making organic wine when they bought this vineyard. So much so they enlisted the help of one of the best wine makers in France, Marc Perrin. What they have created is a beautifully crafted and interesting, Provencal rose.

Deep coloured rose from one of Spain’s most important wineries, single vineyard serious rose, blend of Tempranillo. Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano powerful notes of redcurrant and raspberry on the palate. A sturdy Rose for food pairing, behaves like a light red. Great Autumnal/Winter option !

Charming rosé from the Barossa Valley. The wine is vibrant, bright cerise in colour with good depth. Rose petal and delicate musk perfumes lift out of the glass with a little hint of allspice aromatics. The palate is an intriguing combination of delicacy and richness.

Rock Angel rose is an iconic Provencal rose from the Esclans house. Pushing the envelope of Provence Roses. 85% Grenache, 15% Rolle grapes from the best vineyard areas of La Motte Provence.

Les Clans is the second label in the d’Eslcans flight and it leads into partial oak vinification giving it hints of the complexity and structure for which Chateau d’Esclans high end cuvees are known. The Wine Enthusiast states that Esclans current vintage pushes the envelope of Provence Roses.

Calitzdorp is not the logical place to go hunting for Riesling, but here is another potential ‘hit’ that came out of Rick’s world tour of the Cape in March 2020, just prior to lockdown. The still-fermenting juice was presented to Rick by Margaux Nel of Boplaas, from grapes she and her partner, Leon had sourced from an apple farmer in Elgin.

‘‘I am not afraid of the darkness. Real death is preferable to a life without living.’’ Vasco da Gama Vasco da Gama (c.1460 – 1524) was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea; linking Europe and Asia via the Cape of Good Hope.

This wine is part of the superb parcel of wines `liberated` by MW Richard Kelly. Richard has sourced this Syrah from the De Morgenzon vineyards in Stellenbosch and closely resembles the wines of Crozes-Hermitage & Saint-Joseph. The wine shows red-black fruit & a slight floral note on the palate.

Rosa dei Frati is light pink in colour. It is zesty and vibrant with aromas of summer pudding and strawberries, it is perfectly balanced with a lovely refreshing finish.
