Mulderbosch
Coastal Region, South Africa
A delicious South African rosé made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Mulderbosch
Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon
This is a trailblazing wine in the young rosé category in South Africa. The Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards specifically farmed to produce rosé. These early picked, specially selected grapes are vinified in the same manner in which an aromatic white wine would be to produce a fresh, aromatic style of rosé. Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards are managed specifically with the idea of rosé production in mind. Early picking dates result in naturally high acidity levels and a bright spectrum of fruit flavors ideal in rosé style wines. Once pressed, the juice is handled to heighten the vibrant, zesty aromas and fresh mineral palate. Crucial to this style of rosé is early bottling to preserve the wine’s inherent freshness.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine and is not eligible for discounts, member pricing, or member guarantee. Limited Availability.< ...

WINE REGION:
Coastal Region
Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.

TASTING NOTES:
Pomegranate
Watermelon
Black Cherry
Light bright blush pink that radiates charm and promises fresh vibrant fruit and deliciously refreshing mouthfuls of summer. Great intensity of sweet black cherry, pomegranate and watermelon, fresh raspberries, and a subtle spicy note define the nose. Confected berries follow on the palate, followed by subtle floral aromatics, and an alluring mineral note binds it all.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Mulderbosch
When Mulderbosch founder, Larry Jacobs, bought the farm in 1989, the community referred to the property as “vuilplasie,” Afrikaans for “dirty little farm.” A (small) cellar was later built, and the first set of wines were released: Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The dream was to produce wine, but certainly not just any wine; they had to consistently reflect innovation, creativity, and excellence. Soon, Mulderbosch gained international traction with a growing list of accolades and awards. As an innovator, Mulderbosch was the first producer in the country to successfully create a barrel-fermented style of Chenin Blanc, and so the ‘Steen Op Hout’ label was born. Trailblazing, the infant rosé category with their Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon, continued this thread of innovation. Today, Mulderbosch has achieved commercial success worldwide and has affirmed their identity as a producer of distinctive wines, representative of the soils and climate in which their grapes are grown.
