Details
Wow, what a knockout nose - very floral, almost nectar-like, and the fun doesn't stop there. A pale orange in the glass, this is bone dry and taut with fresh citrus and plenty of white peach and melon. Gloriously refreshing and fun to drink - this has summer written all over it.
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 will you 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 probably the most versatile and food-friendly style of wine in the world, able to be paired with a range of dishes!

Pairing guide
Friends of Mine definitely know how to impress with their characterful releases, and this stunning rosé is no exception. Juicy, balanced, and refreshing, this rosé is going to pair brilliantly with pork dishes - everything from a juicy chop to a humble pork pie. It’s also great for chicken livers on toast, bacon quiches and tarts, and tomato-based pasta and pasta salads. Duck breast, served rare with chips, is never a bad option, and it’s also delicious with olives, feta, and other classic nibbles.

Wine region

Murray Darling, Australia
The Murray Darling wine region is one of the three that is the backbone of the Australian wine industry, alongside the Riverland and Riverina. The Murray Darling is situated along the Victorian and NSW border with Mildura being the centre. Whether it is grapes or oranges and other fruit, this is the place to find them. It's a hot and dry area with long, hot summers and cool winters, making it the perfect spot for growing grapes. Aside from the commercial wineries that source a large amount of fruit from this region, there is also a growing scene of alternative varietals thanks to wineries like Chalmers.
