Description
Pink Valley Rosé 2025 comes from a Stellenbosch venture devoted to rosé. Its blend of 72% Sangiovese and 28% Shiraz is made with grapes picked by hand in the early morning. After a cool period in stainless steel, the wine is fermented and then rested on fine lees in cement and stainless steel. The approach gives this pale, bone-dry rosé room to show both freshness and texture, without asking it to behave like a red wine.
Pink Valley lies on the slopes of the Helderberg and is a separate wine venture associated with the Oddo family, who also have a connection to nearby Taaibosch. Its first rosé was the 2019 vintage. The label takes its playful ‘Walking Feathers’ motif from the work of South African artist Walter Battiss. For the 2025 wine, the estate’s tasting sheet names Heinrich van der Watt as winemaker.
Bring a bottle to a table set for a long lunch: something bright to pour as the first plates arrive, and easy to return to as the conversation lingers.
TASTING NOTES
Pink Valley Rosé 2025 has a delicate blush colour and a bone-dry palate. Cherry blossom and strawberry lead the aromas, with a small lift of citrus. Its Sangiovese-led blend feels crisp rather than weighty; refreshing acidity carries the fruit through to a lingering finish. There is enough delicacy for a quiet glass before dinner, yet enough presence to enjoy alongside food.
FOOD PAIRING
Try grilled prawns with lemon: the wine’s crisp acidity suits their sweet flesh and citrus dressing. A tomato and goat’s cheese tart offers a savoury contrast to its strawberry notes. For a lighter plate, serve it with watermelon, feta and mint, where the dry finish keeps the pairing refreshing.
