CLIFTON Atlantic rose
Upon first glance, this wine exudes elegance with its subtle coral pink hue. The nose reveals hints of sweetness, light red fruits such as strawberry, a touch of almond, and notes of candyfloss. The palate is greeted with flavours of strawberry, cherries, kiwi, and white peach, followed by a lingering sweetness that culminates in a crisp acidity, delivering a delightful drinking experience.
The perfect wine to share among friends on a hot summer’s day or as golden hour strikes just before sunset.
Pairing/serving suggestion
A great accompaniment to lighter-styled foods such as sushi, salads and tapas. Serve chilled.

PRODUCER
Produced exclusively for The Clifton Collection by Bottega Family Wine’s winemaker, Reino Thiart. Through this experience, he grew an appreciation of what constitutes great wine from South Africa, around the world and an understanding of what clients enjoy. He was intrigued by the inner workings of how to create the perfect blend that is richly layered and a really iconic single varietal wine that expresses that grape.
MOMENTS
The iconic Clifton beaches are ranged at the bottom of craggy, rugged cliffs, after which they are named. Once an isolated outpost, today these are some of the most exclusive beaches (and neighbourhoods) in Cape Town. Clifton Rosé captures the joie de vivre of summer.
