It is no secret that we are great fans of Two Rivers Rosé and we love the style. Winemaker Dave Clouston is looking for a wine with a refreshing salty, briny character along with red summer fruits, Mediterranean herb flavours. He has succeeded brilliantly, with the wine an epitome of succulent, delicious refreshingness.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Pale salmon pink in colour, this Mediterranean – style Rosé is savoury with aromas of freshly cut watermelon, overlaying nuances of thyme and wild strawberries. The palate is zesty, bursting with crushed red berries, Himalayan salt, and a sherbet touch. This elegant Rosé has a chalky texture, and a salivating, persistent finish.
This year’s harvest stands out as one of the best in the past decade – allowing for perfect picking conditions. The Indian summer, followed by a cooler autumn, allowed for an even, slower ripening period, producing highly concentrated fruit with distinctive flavours. As a result, the wines are pure and powerful, with lifted aromatics, lively acidity and great energy."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"It’s fabulously delicate, showing pomegranate, lemon peel and white floral nuances on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate offering excellent fruit purity and poise. Finely textured and linear, the wine delivers elegant fruit flavours with juicy acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2026."
5 Stars Michael Cooper, October 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Grown at five sites in the Southern Valleys, the highly refined 2023 vintage is a blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Viognier, tank-fermented and lees-aged for three months. Pale pink, it is vibrantly fruity, with fresh, very generous strawberry, watermelon, peach and spice flavours, showing excellent delicacy, and a dry, harmonious finish. Already delicious, it offers top drinking through the summer of 2023-24."
4 Stars Cuisine Rosé Tasting, December 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Fresh delicate aromas of peaches, pears and apples alongside citrus and florals entice on the nose and through the palate. The palate is understated, clean and bright with great acid, fantastic texture and superb length."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Seductive scents of white blossoms and roses are laced with ripe red berry fruits scents of cherry then strawberry. Other aromas of wet stone and and a soft savoury quality add depth and expression. On the palate a smooth and silky mouthfeel, dry, crisp and fruity wine with flavours that reflect the bouquet. Balanced and well made, a rather perfect summer tipple. Best drinking from 2023 through end of summer 2025."
