Description
Rickety Bridge Foundation Stone Rosé 2025 is a Franschhoek rosé built in a bright, easygoing style that puts freshness and drinkability at the center. It leans into the kind of clean, fruit-led profile that makes rosé so useful at the table, while a little lees aging adds more texture than you might expect from a straightforward summer wine. The result is a bottle that feels polished without losing its sense of ease.
The nose opens with fresh red berry aromas and a touch of citrus zest, giving the wine a lively and inviting start. On the palate, it is juicy and fruit-forward, with a crisp line of acidity that keeps the wine bright and balanced through a clean, dry finish. It would pair especially well with salads, grilled prawns, charcuterie, or simple lunch dishes, but it is just as comfortable on its own when the weather calls for something cold and refreshing.
Made for youthful enjoyment, this is a rosé that captures freshness, charm, and versatility without trying too hard.

The grapes were handpicked from selected vineyards and gently destemmed, with limited skin contact used to preserve freshness and a pale color profile. Fermentation took place in stainless steel with selected yeasts to maintain fruit purity and aromatic clarity.
The wine was then aged on fine lees for six months, adding a little extra texture and complexity while keeping the overall style bright and expressive.
