The 2023 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: Generous, crisp, full mouth feel. Smooth, creamy elegant wine with tonnes of finesse and a long finish. Multi-layered lingering wine which sparkles like a diamond! Early season cherries on the palate with a riverstone minerality.
