Wolftrap Rosé – Smells Like Summer

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: August 6, 2019

A great wine to indulge in while poolside, the Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap Rosé.

Wolftrap Rosé - Smells Like Summer

69% Cinsault, 21% Syrah and 10% Grenache Noir from Western Cape, South Africa. This rosé is produced using the saignée method and is fermented in stainless steel. It has just 1.9 g/L of residual sugar.

Sample submitted for review. The Wolftrap Rosé has an SRP of $14, but is available for as low as $12. Imported by Vineyard Brands.

From the bottle:

The Wolftrap Rosé is an aromatic dry blend. It is fresh and lively with a lengthy finish. The name is a tribute to the pioneers who in the early days of the Cape erected a wolf trap at Boekenhoutskloof. To date, no wolf either real or mystical has been seen in the valley.

13% Alcohol

The 2018 Wolftrap Rosé from Boekenhoutskloof smells like summer! It begins with pleasing aromas of fresh red cherries, flowers, raspberries, watermelon and more. The wine tastes a bit more tart in the mouth with citrus zest and a bit of tropical fruit added to the flavors from the nose. It’s quite good and very easy to drink. With loads of refreshment, this would make a great wine while poolside. It ends with a tart, lasting, satisfying, clean finish.
