Details
This very drinkable rosé features a rare combination of grapes: Grenache and Vermentino from the Doole Vineyard artfully married to deliver maximum deliciousness. Light pink coloured, there's pink fruit, a bit of peach and melon (from the Vermentino grapes) and just the barest creamy edge to soften things. Delish.
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: Usually, the lighter the colour of the rosé, the lighter the wine is.
