The La Gazette des Vignes rosé is pale and pretty in pink. This rosé shows bright raspberry, wild strawberry and lemon zest with a playful pear-drop twist. Fresh, floral and feather-light, it’s an effortlessly drinkable pink for long lunches and golden-hour glasses.

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: Some people think that the hue of the pink in a rose indicates how dry the wine will be — often thinking that darker hues mean sweeter— but this is false. The depth of the hue is actually a reflection of how long the wine spent macerating on the skins.
