More Information - Wolftrap Rose
This rosé is pale with a copper hue. The nose is inviting with aromas of fresh red cherries, red currant, watermelon, pomegranate and lime, with whiffs of pink peppercorn. The palate is round and smooth yet structured with integrated acidity. The cherry and red currant characters follow through onto the palate with flavours of red apples, peach blossom, nectarine, juicy plums and granadilla. The wine is precise and displays a perfect weight – a classic Rosé made in a traditional style. Wild strawberries and subtle hints of rose petal, crushed gravel and spice linger on a clean, dry finish
Back Story & Wine Information
When the farm was founded, the Franschhoek valley was far wilder than it is today – as the wolf trap we once discovered goes to show. Today, the mountains are still alive with indigenous animals, including the majestic leopard. No evidence of wolves has ever been found though, so we created this wine to remind us of the mysteries and legends of days gone by.
