Darling is putting on a show this spring

Darling Cellars
As the veld begins to flower, signalling spring on the West Coast, Darling Cellars shares their top spring wine recommendations.

The winter rains give way to warmer days, and the veld begins to flower here at Darling Cellars. Pink, yellow, white, and purple spread across the landscape, including the delicate pink blooms of the Pyjama Bush, locally known as agt-dae-geneesbossie.

It is a little piece of Darling that has always been close to us, and this season it has found its way onto the new label of our Darling Reserve Pyjama Bush Rosé.

Fresh, bright and made for the first warm days of spring, Pyjama Bush Rosé is full of strawberry and raspberry fruit with a crisp, refreshing finish. It is uncomplicated in all the right ways. Chill it properly, find some sunshine and pour generously.

And if you are looking for all the pleasure of a pink glass with almost none of the alcohol, our De-Alcoholised DC Rosé deserves a place in the fridge too. Pale, fresh and softly fruited, it has become a firm favourite in our shop, and we can see why.

Two pink wines. Two ways to drink them. One very good time of year to stock the fridge.

For a limited time, enjoy 10% off, plus an additional members-only 5%, on your purchase.
