There are wines that simply taste good—and then there are wines that capture a moment. Paserene Rosie is one of those rare expressions. With her pale blush hue, wild strawberry aroma, and mineral backbone, Rosie isn’t just a rosé—she’s a feeling. And as Franschhoek turns to spring, she’s the perfect companion for the season’s freshest flavours and softest afternoons.
The Spirit of Rosie
Rosie is part of the Paserene Elements Range—crafted with the same minimalist winemaking philosophy and attention to detail that defines our flagship wines. She’s youthful, expressive, and precise. A rosé that honours the integrity of the fruit while inviting relaxed enjoyment.
Rosie’s name speaks to both her floral personality and her femininity. There’s a strength in her structure and a grace in her profile. She is not sweet, but generous. Not showy, but quietly radiant.
A Rosé with Provençal Elegance
Made in the dry Provençal style, Rosie is the result of early morning harvesting, gentle whole-bunch pressing, and fermentation under cool, controlled temperatures. The grapes are handled with care to preserve their freshness and nuance. The result is a rosé with delicate aromatics and surprising depth.
On the nose, you’ll find aromas of rose petal, wild strawberry, and white peach. There’s also a hint of watermelon rind and flinty minerality that gives Rosie her unmistakable elegance. The palate is dry but plush—fruit-forward at first sip, then tapering to a refined finish marked by clean acidity and a savoury edge.
Colour: Pale salmon pink
Nose: Rose, raspberry, grapefruit zest, wet stone
Palate: Dry, textured, vibrant with citrus lift
Finish: Crisp, mineral, mouthwatering
Perfect Pairings for Spring
Rosie is built for warm days and sociable tables. She pairs beautifully with both casual dishes and refined menus—her brightness makes her a versatile choice for lunch, brunch, or aperitivo hour.
- Smoked Franschhoek trout with crème fraîche and dill
- Prosciutto, melon & soft goat cheese crostini
- Grilled vegetable platters with herbed aioli
- Salmon sashimi with pickled ginger and lime
- Fresh strawberry and burrata salad with balsamic pearls
Her subtle acidity also makes her a dream partner for creamy cheeses and citrus-based dressings. For dessert, try Rosie with lemon tartlets or berry pavlova with whipped cream.
How to Serve Rosie
Rosie is best served chilled—but not too cold. We recommend 10–12 °C to allow her aromatics to shine. Use a standard white wine glass to enhance her structure and release her more delicate notes.
Open and enjoy immediately—no need to decant. If you’re entertaining, consider keeping a second bottle on ice. She’s often the first wine to disappear at the table.
The Rosie Tasting at Paserene
Rosie can be experienced at our tasting lounge in Franschhoek, where she’s often the first pour of the Elements Range flight. Guests are greeted with a glass of Rosie and a view of the mountains—sunlight dancing across the surface of the koi pond, the scent of spring blooms drifting in through open doors.
It’s more than a tasting—it’s a seasonal ritual. Pair your Rosie experience with a local charcuterie board or enjoy her in the garden as part of a longer Elements exploration.
