Mara Tamu Rosé is a light sparkling rosé wine made in South Africa and marketed in Kenya under the Mara Wines brand. “Tamu” means “sweet” in Swahili, which describes its style—sweet, easy-drinking, with a lively sparkle. It is crafted from Cape grapes, bottled to show off bright fruit aromas and soft mouthfeel rather than high acidity or heavy structure. With modest alcohol and gentle fizz, it’s aimed at casual occasions, picnics, or celebrations where something refreshing and fruity is desired.
