Details
With just the barest pink hints, this lovely light and bright rosé is just such a delight. Lemon, grapefruit, and just a little red apple make this such an easy wine to like - it's like when the sun comes out after a few gloomy days. Fresh, light-bodied and just a little tart, you will struggle not to have a second glass.
Origin: Sparkling rosé was first made in the Limoux region of southern France in the 16th century. Mainly grown in: Pretty much everywhere - anywhere you find sparkling wine, sparkling rosé will naturally follow. Key facts: Think Pink! There’s no change from standard sparklings in the way these wines are made, the obvious difference is colour. But there’s more than that - the red grapes or wine that are used as part of the blend add in a different set of aromas and flavours. Don’t be fooled by clever marketing thinking it’s more expensive or better - just different. So whether it is labelled as methode traditionelle, cava, pet nat, prosecco or just sparkling, if it’s got rosé in the name, you know there’s some different grapes in the blend. Fun fact: Most sparkling rosé is fizzy white with a dash of red wine added to it for colour!

Pairing guide
You’re sure to delight your lucky guests - and yourself - by bringing this bottle of pink fizz to the table, which offers a stunning array of soft summer fruit flavours alongside those irresistible bubbles! It’s a great wine for pairing with a massive array of tasty dishes, and we loved it with everything from smoked salmon blinis to chicken with pancetta, bacon and cheese omelettes and crispy chilli tofu. It’s also a great wine for sweet-and-salty canapes like stuffed dates or figs with cheese, and will also work well with raspberry desserts or a classic Aussie pavlova, too.

Wine region
South Australia, Australia
South Australia is a wide and varied state when it comes to wine production. From the coastal regions of Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale, to the warmer inland valleys of Barossa and Eden, to the flats of Langhorne Creek, there's a range of terroirs and temperatures across this wide brown land. As a result, wines labelled with only South Australia can display a range of flavours! The state is probably best known for Shiraz, Grenache and Cab Sav in reds, and Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in white. Whatever your flavour, there's plenty to explore!
