Rosés Are Red: Shattering the Clichés of Pink and Juicy Reds

Rosés Are Red: Shattering the Clichés of Pink and Juicy Reds

Rosé is not a wine you apologise for, and never was. Forget the idea that pink only means sweet, or that red only shows up dark and heavy. This is a lineup built to prove otherwise, sourced from South Africa’s most daring producers.

Join us on Saturday, 5 September 2026, for an afternoon spent across 15 bottles and every shade of pink and red. Crisp poolside rosés, bubbly Méthode Cap Classique (South Africa’s answer to Champagne), and dusk dark, juicy reds. The wines will make their case, you be the judge.

Mingle, taste, and explore at your own pace as we move through three vibrant acts at Deviate Wine Bar, from bright and easy to bold and brooding.

The Lineup

🥂 Act I: Poolside Pinks — Still Rosé
Dry, structured, and nowhere near as sweet as its reputation. Bone dry Cinsaults, Grenache led blends, and Syrah rosés with real texture, built for a warm afternoon and a serious palate in equal measure.

🍾 Act II: Bubbly Effervescent — Rosé MCC
Where the afternoon lifts. Cape Méthode Cap Classique rosés, made the traditional way, bring a fine bead and brioche edged complexity that proves pink and serious were never mutually exclusive.

🍷 Act III: Dusk Falls Red — Juicy Reds
As the afternoon turns, so does the glass. Juicy, food friendly reds with just enough structure to remind you why you fell for red wine in the first place.
