About the wine

This is a vibrant and refreshing wine that embodies the essence of its unique terroir. This rosé is crafted from carefully selected grapes, showcasing the region's climate and soil, which contribute to the wine's distinct character.

Tasting notes

With a beautiful pale pink hue, Nieuwe Haarlem Rosé presents enticing aromas of ripe strawberries, watermelon, and hints of citrus, creating an inviting bouquet. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, offering a perfect balance of fruitiness and acidity. The wine’s refreshing finish makes it an ideal choice for warm days and casual gatherings.

The Coastal Region of South Africa is renowned for its varied landscapes and proximity to the ocean, which influences the growing conditions of the vineyards. The cooler coastal breezes help retain acidity in the grapes, resulting in a wine that is both refreshing and well-structured.

Pair this delightful rosé with a variety of dishes, such as grilled seafood, fresh salads, or light pasta dishes. It also shines as a stand-alone aperitif, perfect for enjoying with friends on a sunny afternoon.

About the winemaker

Sometimes, like a fine wine, a story is just too good not to share. Encircled with historical gravitas and adventure, the Nieuwe Haarlem is one such tale.

On 25 March 1647, the Dutch lndiaman named Nieuwe Haerlem was wrecked in a storm in the Cape’s Table Bay. This shipwreck was destined to change the course of history, leading to the creation of a new state on the southern part of the African continent. How?

Thanks to the brave decisions of Captain Leendert Janszen, the crew stayed behind with him to look after the shipwrecked cargo. During this time, the sailors grew vegetables, planted the Cape’s first vines and bartered fresh meat with the locals – slowly paving the first stone for what would be the path to establishing the Cape as the halfway refreshment station along the spice route.

Today, the Cape is still rich with vines, some of which were first planted by Janszen and his crew. Ultimately, the Nieuwe Haarlem planted a legacy that is as significant as it is celebrated.
