Steenberg Rosé 2016

This coral pink dry Rosé delivers subtle fragrances of watermelon sorbet, rose petal, rosemary and thyme on the nose. The wine is full, yet fresh on the palate and entices further with notes of juicy raspberry, wild strawberry and spiced stone fruit. This Steenberg Rosé shows great depth and lingers considerably on the palate.
