About Mulderbosch Vineyards
Pioneering the rosé’s of South Africa, Mulderbosch is widely considered one of the country’s iconic wineries, with a reputation for quality to boot. Founded by Larry Jacobs 1989 and joined by Mike Dobrovic, Mulderbosch began with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc before innovating South Africa’s production of Chenin Blanc and the Cabernet Sauvignon rosé.

TASTING NOTES:
“The nose explodes with fresh aromas of sliced strawberries, and carries a lightly herbal note often associated with Cabernet Sauvignon. Although vibrant and fresh, the palate also has fruit purity and concentration making this a serious example of the genre. The wine is well balanced, with a keen note of acidity running the length of its core, and a clean, delightful flurry of flavor on the finish.” (AbV 12.5%)

BARRELS:
Unclear, but early bottling was crucial for this type of rosé.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Balderdash is a board game where players are presented with an obscure or unusual word and are then asked to come up with a definition for it that sounds plausible. You can also just submit the correct definition, if you happen to know it, and get three points. But if you fool other players into choosing your made-up definition, you will also get points for each person fooled. Perhaps you could gamble on making a convincing definition and get more points than the person who just straight up answers the question.
