Saint Claire Natural Sweet Rosé is a product of The Saints Wines (Douglas Green) produced in the Western Cape, South Africa, particularly from vineyards around Wellington. It’s made as a blend of 50% Pinotage and 50% Merlot, using sweet wine styles that preserve natural grape sugars. The wine is styled to be very approachable: low alcohol (8% ABV), high residual sugar (~ 76.4 g/L), soft acidity, and a flavour profile built for sweetness, fruit, and ease of drinking rather than tannin or oak. The wine is non-vintage, aimed at consumers who enjoy lighter, dessert-like wines, easy to pair, and pleasant with minimal effort.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Bright rosy pink (“pretty cherry pink”); clear, vivid hue in the glass.
- Aroma: Aromas of crushed strawberry, Turkish delight, ripe berries, candy-sweet red fruits.
- Palate: Very sweet entry with juicy red berry flavours (strawberry, raspberries) and candied fruit; creamy, soft texture; the sweetness dominates but balanced by mild refreshing acidity so it doesn’t feel cloying.
- Finish: Smooth and lingering sweetness; fruit continues, with light candy-like tones; no harsh bitterness or strong drying tannin.
- ABV: 8 %
Serving Suggestions:
Serve well chilled (around 6-8 °C) to bring out its fruity aromas and refresh the palate. It’s great as a summer sipper, for picnics, or casual gatherings. Pairs well with spicy chicken, lightly curried dishes, BBQ, desserts featuring berries or mild chocolate, or even with fresh fruit. Also works nicely as an aperitif for those who enjoy sweetness.
