This South African stunner comes with both beauty and backbone. Named after Emily Hobhouse, a British-born “honorary South African” who championed justice and compassion, it’s dedicated to her memory and to brave women fighting for what’s right all over the world. I couldn’t resist grabbing a bottle to be a little cheeky with my daughter, also an Emily, though hers comes with a quirkier spelling and equally bold spirit. This wine doesn’t play by the rules. It’s not your run-of-the-mill rosé. Instead of getting its blush from skin contact like most do, it’s crafted by blending predominantly unoaked Chardonnay with a touch of lightly oaked Pinot Noir, giving it that dreamy peachy pink hue. The result is a glass full of personality: young, fresh, and bursting with ripe guava, pineapple, kiwi, green apple, and just a whisper of strawberry. It’s vibrant and confident with a balanced acidity and a finish that lingers just long enough to keep you coming back for another sip. Best enjoyed with your favorite person, a little Bravo TV drama, and the reminder that sometimes being a little different and a little defiant is exactly what makes you unforgettable.
