Backsberg Estate Cellars Pinotage Rosé 2018 Review
Not very expressive but the wine has some hints of hawthorn and grapefruit, with a bit of pear and bell pepper. The fun part is the structure of the wine. On the palate it is big, grapey and juicy, with vibrant acidity, making it one hell of a crushable wine for rooftops and cookouts.
