Details
Les Talandières focus on several regions within the broad, sprawling Languedoc wine region. This rosé has been sourced from the Pays D'Herault sub-region and is a mix of Cinsault and Grenache. Together these well-suited rosé varieties have put together a lovely wine with creamy strawberry and raspberry fruit, plenty of silky texture and trademark pale pink colour.
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: Pale pink rosé has become the queen bee among consumers because it has built a reputation for being the lightest and driest. However, just because a rosé is darker in colour, does not mean it is sweet! And some rosé with more colour also has more character, flavour and is just as refreshing.

Pairing guide
The winemakers at Maison Johanès Boubée certainly know their way around a good rosé wine, and this gorgeous release might be the best of the bunch. It’s a great wine for pairing with light lunch options like prawn skewers, quiche lorraine, chicken satay or simple bruschetta platters, and will also match up beautifully with salmon fillets in a cream sauce. Tuna salads, roast chicken with creamy garlic mushrooms, pork chops with a garlic and herb crust, and all kinds of charcuterie and medium cheeses would also work a treat.
