Details
A bright nose of strawberries and rose petal aromas invite you into a refreshingly dry rosé with flavours of juicy fruit and savoury rhubarb. Plenty of fresh acidity and a lovely long finish. Great stuff!
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 comes from the pigment 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: Rosé is made from red grapes, but without too much skin contact (mmm, sexy). The colour is wine comes from the skins, so without these, the wines only have a hint of colour.

Pairing guide
This dry and aromatic style of rosé is fantastically versatile. A real winner for sipping on the terrace when the sun is shining. For full effect, pair it up with some fresh seafood, or a widespread antipasto plate. Does life get any better? It’s also going to go very well with spicy Asian fare, as well as grilled oily fish fillets, and noodles with tofu and soy sauce.
