New addition to the Rose landscape in South Africa
Some more decent Rose from France now available in South Africa, but Domaine Ott will and always remain a benchmark, arguable the world’s finest Rose, especially the Coeur de Grain, however the range below represented by Marianne Vaz, offers exceptional value and amazing freshness with a sense of place and with the South African summer behind the door, no better time to indulge and spoil yourself with a great glass of wine.
