Details
A really assertive rosé, despite its pale pink colour. There's plenty of fruit on the nose, no doubt coming from the intriguing combination of Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc that make up this wine. Lots of strawberries and cream, a touch of vanilla and honey - very easy to enjoy!

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: Rosé from Southern France, such as Provence and Minervois, is like the "Little Black Dress" or smart suit jacket of the rosé wine world. Sometimes nothing beats the classics.

Pairing guide
Made from grapes grown in soils once part of a limestone sea bed, this beautiful Southern Australian rose is a real treat for the senses. With its plush fruit flavours and delightfully vibrant colour, it’s ideal for pairing with light and salty dishes, as well as all your al fresco favourites. Grilled halloumi, olives, and fresh salads are all going to be superb, but it’s every bit as good with tomato pasta sauces, vegetarian sushi creations, and even spicy tofu curries!

Wine region
Limestone Coast, Australia
The Limestone Coast is a large wine zone in the south-east of South Australia which has six wine regions that comprise the Limestone Coast; Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Robe and Wrattonbully. The Limestone Coast is in a unique position with cool winds and ocean waters throughout the summer months thanks to an oceanic event called the Bonney Upwelling which helps keep the vineyards cool during the hot summer months. The Limestone Coast produces a wide range of quality wines from classic Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz in Coonawarra to cool-climate varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Robe and Mount Gambier. It is truly a versatile area and one of the backbones of the Australian wine industry.
