Details
This is a true delight. Made from a base of Grenache red grapes, expect lots of taut redcurrant and berry flavours from top to bottom here. Classic French rosé with a lovely fresh, herbal finish.

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
We love a good bottle of rosé, and this one (made from Cinsault) from Vin Dredi Soir definitely knows how to satisfy the senses. As you probably know, the traditional food pairing for Cinsault is escargot - snails with garlic butter - but if that’s not your thing, you’ll get equally good results with deeply savoury dishes like miso-rubbed mushrooms, risotto or a simple plate of ham. Roast eggplant, strong cheeses and sweet potato will also hit the spot beautifully.

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.
