2009 Delheim Pinotage Rosé ...
probably the first and certainly one of the finest

The Delheim 2009 Pinotage Rosé has just been released and is among the first 2009 vintage wines to hit the market. And this year Delheim’s Rosé is being presented in its own specially designed 6-bottle new outer packaging.

For the second year running, Delheim Pinotage Rosé was voted among the top 100 wines on the German market by the trade magazine ‘Weinwirtschaft’, which collates the results from the German wine trade based upon volume sales, image and price point. Not only is the outer packaging very striking and distinctive, but Delheim’s 2009 Pinotage Rosé is now easier to open as it now comes in light weight screw-cap bottles.

The Pinotage grapes were harvested in late January and the Muscat in early February. The vintage has been healthy although the Pinotage crop was lighter than expected. Delheim’s wine maker, Brenda Van Niekerk, describes this wine as a combination of flavours of strawberry and raspberry. “It’s a medium dry style wine with 5.5 gms sugar and an alcohol of 12.5 %, which makes ideal to drink on its own or with food.”

The Deheim Pinotage Rosé 2009 is widely available in most retail stores.

Enjoy!
Best wishes
