Details
This vibrant and juicy rosé bursts with red berry energy (we're talking strawberries and raspberries). It's dry, with hints of candied fruit, and fresh floral notes of peach blossom. Altogether delivering a bright and super crowd-pleasing pink sip!

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 of the 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: Due to its short production time rosé is a popular choice among celebrity winemakers: John Legend, Drew Barrymore, Dave Matthews, Brangelina, Dwayne Wade & Bon Jovi.

Pairing guide
Spanish rosés always bring bags of character and sunshine to the glass, and Carmela is no exception. When it comes to food, we love it alongside dishes like roasted trout or grilled swordfish, seared scallops or other full-flavoured seafood. It’s also brilliant with rustic tomato-based dishes - think baked aubergine with tomato and herbs, arrabbiata pasta, or slow-cooked peppers with chorizo. For something heartier, try it with rosemary-marinated pork, spiced meatballs, or a mushroom and barley risotto. And for a delicious vegan option, try charred vegetable paella, crispy chickpea fritters, or a roasted red pepper and couscous salad. In short: this is a super-versatile rosé that’s ready for just about anything tasty you throw at it.

Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
La Mancha is a wine region in Spain known for its hot and dry climate, high altitude vineyards, and significant grape production the top sub-regions are Almansa, Jumilla, and Manchuela, each with its own unique wine styles. The terroir across these regions can be characterized by the high chalk content of its soil, which helps to retain moisture during the arid summers. The top wine styles produced in La Mancha are primarily red wines made from the Tempranillo grape, including the well-known Crianza and the top tier Reserva styles, as well as Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. However, the region also produces some white wines made from the fruity Airen grape, which is a native varietal of La Mancha and one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in the world.
