Mulderbosch

The best way to enjoy the vivid and fresh style of a fine rosé in the autumn and winter here in North America is to seek out wines from the southern hemisphere. The 2024 Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé is a lovely and fresh example of South African style. A vivid pink in color, it has a bouquet of strawberries and ripe cherries plus hints of wildflowers, herbs and spice. The flavors are pure and juicy, with strawberry and red cherry fruit enhanced by the classic herbal character of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. It’s a wonderful rosé that will enhance your dining pleasure. 90 Wayne Belding

With its elegant pale pink color, light but layered nose of strawberries, grapefruit and guava and its reasonable price, this rose from consistently solid Stellenbosch producer Mulderbosch is an accessible and affordable food wine that will please multiple palates. Flavors of cherry, herbs and strawberry on the palate coat the tongue with the slightly viscous mouthfeel, but it's not overwhelming. Drink now.
