A dry Rose made from a blend of Chardonnay & Pinot Noir. SHE is refreshing. SHE is subtle, SHE is elegant. SHE is beautiful.
Weltevrede Place of Rocks is a limited selection from vines growing on broken shale rock slopes.

Place of Rocks invites you to ponder its depth of complexity, the seamless dance of vibrant minerality, citrus and deeper notes of toast and spice. A mouth-watering minerality, limey length and lingering aftertaste. This delicate layering and polished texture honour a wide variety of culinary options. The chef’s choice, the sommelier’s confidant, and the food lover’s favourite. A beautiful marriage, as Place of Rocks loves food and food...
