Savor a Fresh and Fruity Delight
Vondeling Merlot Rosé enchants with a vibrant bouquet of red currant, strawberry, and subtle floral notes, accented by a hint of citrus zest. On the palate, it’s crisp and medium dry, delivering lively red berry flavors, bright acidity, and a smooth, textured finish from a few months on lees in stainless steel tanks. With a 12.5% ABV, it’s best served chilled at 8°C (46°F), making it perfect for Nairobi’s warm days or balmy evenings. Its balanced fruitiness and elegant style appeal to both casual sippers and wine enthusiasts, ensuring every glass is a moment of joy. The Merlot grape’s soft, juicy character adds a distinctly approachable charm, making this rosé a standout choice for any Nairobi occasion.
Pair with Nairobi’s Culinary Favorites
This rosé’s versatility makes it a stellar companion for Nairobi’s diverse dining culture. Pair it with grilled seafood, fresh salads, or soft cheeses like camembert to highlight its fruity freshness.

Crafted with Voor-Paardeberg Artistry
Vondeling sources Merlot grapes from its vineyards nestled against the Voor-Paardeberg mountain in Paarl, where decomposed granite soils and cooling breezes create ideal conditions for vibrant fruit flavors. The grapes undergo a short period of cold maceration to ensure gentle extraction of color and tannins, resulting in the wine’s pale pink hue. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, with no oak influence, preserving the wine’s crisp freshness and subtle texture from lees contact. This meticulous process, guided by winemaker Matthew Copeland, reflects Vondeling’s commitment to quality and sustainability, producing a rosé that’s both elegant and expressive of its unique terroir. The wine’s quality has earned recognition, including a Top 10 placement in the 2023 Hallo Merlot competition, affirming its excellence in Frontdoor Kenya’s collection.
