Cap Provincial Rosé
The Story behind Jean Roi
The premium Rosé category in recent years has exploded onto the international stage, none more so than Provençal-style Rosé. The unique combination of Limestone and Clay soils, the incredibly varied terrain, sun and Mistral wind producing some of the driest, coral-coloured, sought after Rosé in the world. The Jean Roi range was born of the fact that the Cape Province as a winegrowing region offers all of the above, so why not make our own Cap Provincial Rose to rival some of the best in the world?
Who was Jean Roi?
Jean Roi was amongst the 150 exiled French Huguenots who emigrated to the Cape and settled in Olifantshoek (what was to become Franschhoek) between 1688 and 1689. Roi was granted 60 morgen (approximately 51 Ha) and named it after his hometown Lourmarin in Provence. Today the farm L’Ormarins remains one of the first farms in the area and home to Jean Roi Cap Provincial Rosé.
