Delightfully crisp and
refreshing the 2014 Durbanville Hills Merlot Rosé is one of the most versatile
and food-friendly wines around – and you can enjoy it any time of the year.
The aromas are a
combination of ripe strawberries, red cherries and Turkish delight. These
combine beautifully with wintery dishes such as baked ham with a berry glaze,
chunky fish soups and stews, dim sum and hot Thai noodle dishes with soy sauce
and ginger. In summer, pair the wine with antipasti, mildly dressed salads,
crayfish, prawns and salmon, or simply enjoy this delicious wine on its own on
a warm summers’ evening. However, the ultimate pairing for this wine is with
paella, especially when adding a good helping of saffron - a dish that one can
prepare any time of the year no matter the weather or the occasion.
The 2014 Durbanville Hills Merlot Rosé is expected to retail for about R42 a bottle.
