L'Ormarins Brut Rose Vintage | Jean Roi Rose | Protea Rose

Pale salmon in color, this wine presents attractive aromas of plum and raspberry with a delicate hint of citrus zest. The palate is rounded and fruity, showcasing the brightness and liveliness of strawberry, raspberry, and plum. Beyond its delicious flavour, it offers a lovely mouthfeel and texture, with an appealing fleshiness. There is a light grip, and good body from some lees influence, creating a pleasing harmony of fruit and acid vibrance. The finish reveals citrus notes and an attractive, defined dryness.

A subtle blush pink hue enhances the appeal of the gentleberry aromatics - strawberry and raspberry. This same allure and seduction are present on the palate: juicy, fresh, lively, yet soft-textured and wellrounded. Abundant plum and berry flavors are balanced by vibrant acidity. The wine is textured, dry, and long-lasting, with a pleasantly lingering finish.

The subtle pale shade of coppery pink is eye-catching but the aromas of plum and red fruit, mingled with chalky limestone and fresh citrus simply add to the appeal. The energetic and zippy bubbles deliver the berried red fruit flavours to the tongue while the zesty citrus notes add acid balance add piquancy. Focussed, clean and dry with a faint but gentle brushstroke of creamy richness from yeast and lees that simply adds interest and complexity. Long-lived, stylish and refreshing throughout.

Palest blush pink hue with a lively “string of pearls” bubbles. Subtle cherry and raspberry aromas mingle with more prominent fresh sea breeze and oyster shell notes. Pink grapefruit tang with a hint of lemon zest are the first flavour impressions. Those make way for the briny sea breeze and oyster shell elements, along with a lime leaf and a chalky limestone mouthfeel. Overall, a complex mouthful with an understated red fruit nuance and a rich sourdough note from its time on the lees. Complex, cohesive and persistent.
