Pale pink in the glass and bursting with a mixture of citrus and berries, this rosé made from a 25 year old Grenache vineyard is a real winner. Juicy and light, it shows off some peach and berry flavours, but quite tangy as well. Clean and dry, with some lovely creamy texture on the mid-palate. Good stuff.

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 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: As rosé lovers themselves — though no longer lovers of each other — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie purchased vineyards and started their own rosé project in Southern France. To date, their rosé holds the record for the highest fetched price for a magnum of their pink juice, $4,112 AUD.
