Six Hats Pinotage Rose 2012

A burst of red fruit flavors makes this a juicy and easy-drinking wine. Light pink color. Aroma notes of strawberries and raspberries. Fresh and light palate with a dry finish, complemented with hints of strawberries reminiscent of its aroma. Lingering strawberry is well balanced by refreshing acidity. Pairs well with seafood, pizza, or spicy Asian cuisine; also great on its own on a warm summer day.

Produced by Citrusdal Wines, formed in 2007 when Charles Back entered into a collaborative partnership with several local Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade farmers and located in the town of Citrusdal. Their Six Hats brand, launched in 2009, is built around a concept that seeks to highlight the various roles and responsibilities assumed by all parties involved in progressive and equitable wine farming. These "Six Hats" (or 6 principles) are worn by both the farmer and the community (Partnership, Change, Potential, Equity, Dignity, and Sustainability) represented on their label by six elegantly, illustrated hats. Terroir is a word commonly used to describe the elements that contribute to great wine. However, people are often not included in this. The fruits of their labor are what bring character to this wine and it is the human aspect that makes each wine intriguing and unique. With these six principles at the core of their philosophy, Six Hats seeks to create wines that will contribute not only to your occasion but also to the lives of the people whose hard work is expressed in this bottle.
