Pairing guide
This stylish and lovingly-crafted rosé is a real testament to the skill of its winemakers. It’s a marvellous choice for when richer seafood options like crab and scallops are on the table, and we also loved it with North African dishes like couscous with turkey, chicken and lemon tagine, and tabbouleh salad and homemade falafel. Roast chicken dishes, tomato-based pasta sauces and medium Indian curries will also work well, and it’s also great with dishes like quiche lorraine or ham and cheese pastries.

Wine region
Jumilla, Spain
Despite its hot and harsh conditions, Jumilla has a long history of wine production, with evidence of vine cultivation dating back to the ancient Roman Empire. The Jumilla wine region is located in the southeast of Spain, in the province of Murcia (2.5 hours drive South of Valencia). Jumilla is hot and dry! Thankfully, the high lime content of the soils retains the necessary moisture for often unirrigated vines; the other saving grace is the elevation between 400-800m – offering cool evening respite for the vines. The region is particularly famous for its powerful and rich red wines such as Monastrell and international varieties Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. White varieties like Airen, Macabeo, Pedro Ximénez and Malvasia are also worth a look!
