Think Summer, think Rose - Pinotage Rose Posted by Andrew Chapman in News and Comments, 5:50pm 03/06/2009. There's more wine tasting going on here at Surf4Wine than you can shake a wine glass at right now. Earlier this afternoon we had Francois Van Zyl, the talented winenaker at Laibach drop by in Overton to show us his latest releases. There were a red and white pair of Organic wines called 'Ladybird' - named after the ladybirds he used to kill bugs when he first went organic - and the top-end 'Claypot' Merlot which is limited to a maximum of 10,000 cases every year. The red Ladybird is a Bordeaux right-bank inspired blend that showed lovely plummy fruit and looks set to make a debut on Caviste's shelves soon - and here on Surf4Wine.

On a hot Summer day in Hampshire, the wine that really took our eye was the Laibach Pinotage Rose; pale pink, cherry fruit flavoured and crisply dry - perfect for Summer drinking. In fact, it's so perfect that we have had it rushed into our warehouse today and it is on sale throughout the Caviste shops, and online here at Surf4Wine, NOW! Happy drinking... ^ Back to top

Posted by Mark at 9:43pm on 27/07/2009 Thanks for the update on another South African winery. For some reason, probably geography I can hardly find any info on South African wine where I live. Please keep it up!
