The Wine
Mount Rozier cellar lies in Stellenbosch's prized Somerset West. It's owned by the Gabb family who bought their first property there in 1995 and, just in their first vintage, gained 5 Stars from top critic John Platter. They are a great enterprise to support as they also work extensively in the local community, helping to provide schooling for the children and courses for the cellarhands and vineyard workers. Ben Jordaan has been making his mark as winemaker there since 2018. He has balanced the zippy citrusy freshness of star white grape Chenin Blanc with the ripe fruit notes of Pinot Grigio. All fruit, no oak, this is a refreshing white. Chill down and enjoy on its own or serve with lighter dishes of spicy crab linguine or various salads.
"This white is full of fun – fruity and refreshing. An easy-going Cape white to enjoy any time"
Kirsten Willis
