The 2024 Rothko Rosé is a crystalline, pale-rose gold wine with delicate floral and riverstone minerality. Best to think of it as a sophisticated Provençal-style rosé from Franschhoek, South Africa.
Holden Manz’s red-grape focus extends to rosé, using this blend of mostly Grenache, with Syrah and Cinsault. Made using whole-bunch pressing under dry ice and limiting skin contact to under 3 hours to extract refined aromatics and a whisper of colour.
Rothko Rosé stands out for its balance of elegance, texture, and saline freshness.
Pairing Suggestions: Freshly shucked oysters, Niçoise salad or grilled prawns with herb butter.
Tasting Note: A bright pale rose gold with aromas of rose petals, white cherries, and peach with oyster shell salinity. It’s got a generous, creamy mouthfeel with cherry notes and underlying minerality.
Origin: Franschhoek Valley, South Africa
