The most delicate petticoat pink. A big berry bouquet, spice and Turkish delight. This Overberg rosé exudes the essence of cool-climate freshness.
On the palate, this wine is delightfully crisp, balanced by a smooth, rounded mouthfeel that enhances its elegance. The finish is long and refreshing, carrying forward the lively fruit notes with a lingering sophistication that invites another sip.

When in 2002 Jean-Claude (JC) and Carolyn Martin took up the challenge of establishing a winery in a remote corner of the Walker Bay Wine Region, they did so with the courage of their conviction.
The 40 hectares of undulating land on the lofty Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge had never been planted to vines before, but recognizing the vast potential, they set out with tenacity and determination to transform it into a model wine farm.
No easy feat, but then the Swiss-born JC and South African-born Carolyn (née Finlayson) both come from wine pioneering stock spanning at least three generations and two continents!
