Details
The first thing that grabs your attention is when pouring this wine into your nearest glass, the colour is a bright pink hue that reminds you of that risky shirt your dad wore once. There is watermelon and strawberry popping up to say hello, like any welcome summer fruit salad. The wine is bright and clean with easy drinkability and just a subtle hint of spice and creaminess on the palate. Might need a second bottle..

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: The spectrum of rosé styles is fascinating. Some rosés are so light and crisp that if tasted blind, you would think they were a white wine! Whereas others can have so much texture, red fruit and weight that tasted at room temperature, you might think it was a very light red.

Pairing guide
An off-dry rosé bursting with red fruit flavours, this beautiful bottle from Second Nature is a real winner in our books. All that balance alongside a crisp acidity makes this an excellent pairing with Asian sweet ‘n’ sour dishes, teriyaki salmon and chicken, chicken satay skewers and all kinds of Malay and Indian curries. Charcuterie - especially prosciutto and jamon serrano - will be stunning with this wine, and you’d even find great results with salads featuring raspberry dressing, strawberries or pomegranate. Delicious!
