Waterkloof Estate’s commitment to sustainable wine farming ethics, yields rosy results for this awe-inspiring cellar on the elevated outskirts of the Helderberg Winelands, which is evident in the latest 2012 vintage of its elegantly dry rosé – Cape Coral Mourvèdre – the blushing pride of the estate’s expressive Circumstance collection.

This internationally famed rosé with its pale coral hue, is made with serious intent and shows great harmony, with a decidedly more masculine character and persistence than one might expect from a pink drink.

The newly released Circumstance Cape Coral 2012 is a sophisticated rosé that is not overly fruity with a dry, yet firm character and delicate spicy nuances. Sensual red fruit, spice and some earthiness linger with great persistence, ending with a tight, dry finish, whilst the herbaceous flavours becoming more prominent as the wine ages.
