This rosé from Famille Arbeau is a blend of Gamay and Syrah with the end result being a wine filled with cherries and raspberries with a nice creamy structure. This is a smart wine with plenty of drinkability.

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 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.
