Perhaps made with a less traditional approach, L!FE Moscato Rosé from Origin Wines uses grapes from different locations around the Western Cape. The brand is an exciting new idea from Origin Wines that looks to develop the fruitiness in the wine and push the flavour as well as the concept of living life to the maximum. Other variations in the range include a Merlot, a Sauv Blanc and a Rosé, and each is branded with a different slogan; L!FE is to live, L!FE is to discover, L!FE is to share and L!FE is to Celebrate. The bright, pastel coloured bottles also make for eye-catching marketing. You’ll also notice that this Moscato features a unique reseal tool to ensure optimum freshness and actually allows you to ‘pop’ the cork more than once!
The Moscato Rosé has a vibrant pint colour with fresh floral notes. You can also notice subtle hints of peach, strawberry, orange blossom and nectarine. The sparkling rosé is obviously sweet and cheerful; typical of the Muscat grape, and would be a great accompaniment to a sweet desert or a camembert and cranberry starter.
Because of the fun-factor that goes with this bottle, as well as the attractive design and easy drinking style, this would make an excellent gift.
Origin Wine is one of South Africa’s top wine exporters and after starting with just three employees, the company now exports more than 80 million litres of wine each year. The company’s services include blending, bottling, analysis, treatment, bulk wine supply and brand development and it also boasts IFS, BRC and IPW standards, and Organic Accreditation, DLG approval and Fairtrade accreditation.
For something a little extra, try adding a couple of drops of lemon juice to the glass for a flavour sensation!
