Mother Rock “Force Celeste” Cinsault Rose 2021

Unfiltered and full of flavour, with some fine lees particles lending hints of baking spices. Funky and tart, with notes of baked strawberries and peppery freesias. Slowly whole-bunch pressed and vinified without any additives, for texture and a dry finish. The result is fresh and pure, food-friendly, and drinkable.

The Mother Rock brand started with the release of the Force Majeure Chenin Blanc 2012. It was the idea of winemaker Johan ‘Stompie’ Meyer and UK-based wine importer Ben Henshaw – they conspired to create an “artisanal, well-made South African Chenin Blanc at an accessible price”. Its continued global success over the years has resulted in the expansion of the range. These wines have always been an expression of Stompie’s adopted home, the Swartland.
