Details
This delicate rosé, with its pale, almost watery hue, is more than meets the eye with a big waft of raspberries and summer berries which shows that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The palate continues the surprise with a punchy red fruited package that has all that you could ask for.
Origin: The spiritual home of rosé is Provence, in Southern France. Mainly Grown In: Rosé is found all over the world these days, but coastal regions are especially well suited to the growing of red grapes for rosé. Key Facts: Rosé is predominantly made from red grape varieties. The colour in wine is actually from pigments found in the skins of the grapes, so even red grapes have clear-coloured juice. The colour is then ‘bled’ out of the skins by infusing the skins into the juice. So for rosé, the wine simply spends far less time hanging out with the skins! Rarely you will find a rosé that is a combo of white and red grapes – they’re not ‘less good’, just less common. Rosé is super versatile – it suits any occasion. Best to always have a bottle in the fridge, just in case, you know… Wednesday happens or something. Fun Fact: In Ancient Greece, some of the first wines ever made were rosé, made by blending white and red wines!

Pairing guide
A deliciously juicy and plush South Australian rosé, this gorgeous blushing wine is going to be ideal with a massive array of tasty savoury dishes. We reckon it’s a top match for Chinese barbecue dishes and bao buns, as well as with pork ribs, Asian beef salads, duck pancakes and any robust salad dish making a star ingredient of grains, dried fruit and aromatic herbs. Ragu sauces, pasta classics like puttanesca, homemade veggie burgers and salmon or tuna dishes will also work brilliantly here.

Wine region

South Australia, Australia
South Australia is a wide and varied state when it comes to wine production. From the coastal regions of Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale, to the warmer inland valleys of Barossa and Eden, to the flats of Langhorne Creek, there's a range of terroirs and temperatures across this wide brown land. As a result, wines labelled with only South Australia can display a range of flavours! The state is probably best known for Shiraz, Grenache and Cab Sav in reds, and Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in white. Whatever your flavour, there's plenty to explore!
