Saronsberg Shiraz Rose

Known for its attractive rose petal color and fresh, fruity profile, bursting with flavors of plum, red berries, and cherry, balanced by a pleasant texture and crisp finish, often described as elegant and refreshing with red fruit notes.
It’s generally a dry to off-dry style, showing good depth from the Shiraz grape, with hints of strawberry, raspberry, and sometimes a touch of spice or savory notes.

Back Story & Wine Information

Set at the foot of the mountain after which it is named, Saronsberg Wine Cellar is a contemporary addition to the rich heritage of Tulbagh valley, formed late in 2002 when Waveren and Welgegund, two farm portions of the historic Twee Jonge Gezellen Estate, were purchased and combined to create a unique location for this progressive winery. Saronsberg has rapidly established an impressive track record being highly acclaimed in South Africa and internationally with consistently awarded wines.
