Place the Mulderbosch Cabernet Rosé in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. If short on time, submerge the bottle in an ice water bath for 20–30 minutes until the bottle feels cold to the touch (approximately 8–10°C / 46–50°F).

Chill the bottle

While the bottle chills, set out 2 appropriate white/rosé wine glasses. Optionally pre-chill glasses in the refrigerator or freezer for 10–15 minutes for extra coolness.

Prepare glassware

Remove any foil or capsule from the top of the bottle. Use the wine opener to remove the cork cleanly. Wipe the bottle lip with a clean cloth or napkin if needed.

Holding the bottle at the base, pour slowly into each glass, filling to about one-third full (approximately 125–150 ml per glass) to allow room for aroma development. For 1 bottle and 2 servings, expect roughly 2 standard pours per bottle (750 ml / 2 ≈ 375 ml each), or adjust to 125–175 ml depending on desired portion size. This recipe's servings assumes 4 pours (125–150 ml) per bottle — set final serving in the 'servings' field.

If you prefer a slightly chilled and refreshing presentation, add 2 ice cubes to each glass (optional). Avoid excessive ice which will dilute the wine quickly.

Garnish the glass rim with a lemon or orange wheel and/or add a fresh mint sprig for an aromatic touch. Gently slap the mint between your hands before adding to release its aroma.

Serve immediately. Encourage guests to swirl the wine gently, inhale to appreciate the aromas (notes of red fruits, subtle spice and florals typical of Stellenbosch rosés), then sip and enjoy.
