Groenland Pinotage Rosé 2025 — Platter’s 4★
Crafted specially for Heléne Steenkamp — 100% Pinotage, free-run juice only, and a Platter’s 4-star rating to boot. Cranberry, red berry and that sherbetty freshness that makes you reach for another glass.
The Story
This rosé was specially crafted for Heléne Steenkamp — a celebration of the women who’ve shaped this estate alongside four generations of winemakers. It’s personal, it’s beautiful, and it drinks like a dream.
The vineyards sit on elevated, south-west-facing slopes in the Bottelary Hills — one of Stellenbosch’s most prized red wine pockets. Clay-rich granite and Malmesbury shale soils give the reds their depth and structure, while cool afternoon breezes from False Bay keep the acidity in check. It’s the kind of terroir that serious wine people get excited about.

How It’s Made
