Fable Wine Belle Flower Rosé
Rose
Tulbagh
2015
Located up against the rugged slopes of the Witzenberg Mountain range, Fable focuses on producing pure expressions of Rhône varieties. Every morning the Mountain casts a shadow over the farm, which has a cooling effect. In summer this allows the grapes to ripen slowly, retaining great natural acidity and in winter the snowy peak helps keep the vines dormant for longer.
Tasting Notes: The colour is bright, pale pink with salmon hues like the Rosé you will find in Provence. The nose is beautifully layered and complex and citrus blossom. Strawberries carry through on the palate accompanied with honeydew melon and baking spices like nutmeg and cardamom with subtle hints of dill and stone minerality. The finish is long with soft creamy layered flavours and mineral and fresh lingering acidity.
