Details
The French have long held the trophy for rosé with every lover of the pink stuff aware of Provençal styles that are made throughout the world. Le Bisou Rose rosé hits all the markers with plenty of French influences thrown in. The wine has a nice balance of watermelon, cranberry and a touch of strawberry balanced with a nice creamy touch.
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: Other words with an é in them: Beyoncé, Pokémon, Crème brûlée. Yep - rosé is in good company.

Pairing guide
A good bottle of rosé is always a delight when dinner time rolls around, and this stunning bottle really showcases the depth and beauty of this style. A richer one it is, made from Cinsault, and in cool weather it’s a gorgeous wine to serve with steak tartare, lamb and capsicum casserole, Moroccan tagines and slow-cooked brisket. It’s also delicious with roast root vegetables, garlicky portobello mushrooms, eggplant with cheese, and vegetarian chilli. Delicious!

Wine region
South of France, France
French wine regions are quite controlling about what grapes they can use, when they can pick their grapes and what must be stated on the bottles. If wineries want to avoid all these tiresome restrictions, they simply use the catch-all term "Vin de France" ; however this mostly applies to the South of France where the main wine regions of Bordeaux, Rhone, Languedoc-Roussillon and the South-West sit. These regions grow it all, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Grenache and Sauvignon Blanc to Viognier so it is a great option to make less serious and restrictive wine and wines with a bit of personality.
