Pinot Noir Brut Rosé 2011 at Woolworths has no added SO2

"Its third vintage, this limited release is as delicious as it is health-friendly and extreme care is taken in the whole winemaking process to prevent oxidation and spoilage of the wine as no SO2 is added. It is a mouthful of freshness and finesse," says Simonsig cellarmaster and MCC specialist Johan Malan, son of Frans Malan who gave South Africa its first bottle fermented sparkling wine back in 1971 - the iconic Kaapse Vonkel.

Ideal as an aperitif for summer entertaining, it partners well with crayfish thermidor, rich Thai dishes or decadent desserts and retails at R89.95 per bottle at selected Woolworths stores countrywide.
