Wine of the Weekend

The Beachhouse Rosé 2019

It shouldn’t really be necessary to have a special day for mom and dad since every day should be special for your parents!  Having said that, this weekend it’s mom’s turn and here’s a wonderful bottle of Rosé so you can show her some extra love.  Rosé wines are not just for summer imbibing, with The Beachhouse Rosé being an especially versatile and affordable food wine.

Tasting Notes: The Beachhouse Rosé is made from 100% Pinotage, the signature grape of South Africa. This wine leads with aromas of red cherries, strawberries and rose petals which reoccur on the palate along with juicy raspberries and hints of Turkish delight. It’s delicious from the first sip through the lingering finish.

Enjoy With: Thai dishes, sushi, smoked salmon bagels, creamy ham or bacon pasta, smoked chicken salads, sticky ribs or BBQ burgers.

Style: An easy-drinking, refreshing Rosé with a touch of sweetness.

Terroir/Region: The Western Cape region of South Africa is broken into several smaller districts, each with its own personality and winegrowing strengths. With very diverse soil types and several microclimates, blending these regions can create very well-rounded wines when properly done. These diverse landscapes also support the Cape Floral Kingdom, which has the highest known concentration of plant species in the world!

Producer: The Beachhouse Rosé is made by Douglas Green Wines, one of the long-standing, modern wine companies in South Africa (the ‘older’ wineries can date back to the 1600s). Douglas Green started the company over 75 years ago with an extensive knowledge of the Cape’s wine regions, a great understanding of regional blending, and a unique ability to tune-in to consumer desires. His pioneering spirit is still alive and well in the winery’s current team and the wines they are making.
