Description
Marianne Wine Estate Rosé 2025 is a Provence-inspired rosé from Simonsberg-Paarl, built around freshness, restraint, and a quietly polished texture. Made from Cinsault, Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre, it reflects a more measured, southern French-influenced approach, where bright fruit is shaped by finesse rather than pushed to excess. This is a rosé with enough detail to keep it interesting, but enough ease to make it highly drinkable.
The nose opens with rose petal, fresh cranberry, and raspberry, followed by gentle notes of orange zest and white peach. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied and vibrant, with crisp acidity giving lift to its red fruit and citrus tones. The texture is smooth and rounded, but the finish stays clean and refreshing, keeping the wine focused and food-friendly. It would be especially well suited to seafood, charcuterie, summer salads, or Mediterranean-style dishes where its brightness and subtle texture can work naturally at the table.
Made for youthful drinking, this is a rosé that captures freshness and poise without feeling overly simple, offering a polished take on warm-weather drinking.

Each varietal was harvested specifically for rosé production and pressed immediately on arrival at the cellar, with only the free-run and soft-press juice used to preserve delicacy and purity. The Shiraz and Grenache were co-fermented to improve aromatic integration, while the Cinsault and Mourvèdre were fermented separately to retain their individual character. After blending, the wine was matured in stainless steel tanks, with occasional lees stirring to protect freshness and build texture.
