De Grendel Wine

De Grendel Brut Rosé has all the hallmarks of a traditional, meticulously constructed Cap Classique, with the added allure of being playful and exciting, Hopkins said. Complex and with a weightier palate than the average sparkling wine, this bone-dry rosé has a fine and persistent mousse introducing hints of oyster shell and fresh lavender on the nose. Intense strawberry coulis and black cherry flavours are well-balanced by firm acidity and linger in the exceptionally long finish.

This elegant salmon pink MCC shows prominent aromas of fresh red berries,-
Turkish delight and floral notes. The palate is seductively fresh with lingering notes of creaminess, honey cake and hints of citrus. The mousse is fine and soft.
