Newly released September 2024, the Johanneshof Pinot Noir Rosé NV displays a very light rose colour. Heavenly scented aromas of violets, red melon, rhubarb and a touch of almond.

Although dry in style, its luscious palate makes it an instantly appealing wine with a very soft acidity. Flavours reminiscent of summer carry on the theme of a berry compote - raspberries, strawberries and cherries all intermingle. A core of nutty and earthy tones shows the terroir of the Maybern vineyard with its clay and sandstone subsoils. The Johanneshof Rose is an elegant, yet gutsy wine  finishing long and smooth.  

This single vineyard Pinot Noir Rosé is made from our steep home block 'Maybern" Vineyard behind our winery. Dry-farmed and narrow planted, growing here is a labour of love, with most work carried out by hand. The notably soft acidity is achieved by carefully monitoring the ripening in the vineyard and choosing the picking time when all components are in balance. Hand harvested like all Johanneshof wines, its a non vintage wine made as an assemblage of our tiny 2023 and 2024 vintages.
