If you've been hunting for a rosé that drinks like Provence but doesn't ask Provence prices, stop here. The Wolftrap is Boekenhoutskloof's answer to easy-drinking pink, and the Cape sunshine gives it a generosity you don't always find in the French classics. Pale copper in the glass, it opens with red cherry, redcurrant and a juicy lift of watermelon, then turns more intriguing with pomegranate, lime and a whisper of pink peppercorn.
The blend is classic Southern Rhône varieties given a South African twist. Cinsault leads, bringing perfume and freshness; Syrah adds a quiet spice; Grenache fills in the red-berry middle. It's made by the saignée method, juice bled off after a brief skin contact with grapes destined for premium reds, then cold-fermented in stainless steel to keep every aroma intact. The result is dry, precise, and properly structured, with integrated acidity rather than the sharp, simple snap you get from cheaper pinks.
This is the bottle for the first warm afternoon of British summer, for picnics in the park, for grilled prawns, salmon niçoise, or a Sunday lunch of roast chicken and herby salads. Equally happy as an apéritif while you wait for friends to arrive. We deliver across the UK, usually within a few working days, order a few bottles, because one is never quite enough once the sun's out.
