Details
This is a deliciously textural and charming rosé from France that could quite easily be from Provence. There is plenty of citrus, and a zesty grapefruit vibe and oodles of freshness with a slightly waxy mouthfeel. This is a wine that screams summertime!
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: In Ancient Greece, some of the first wines ever made were rosé, made by blending white and red wines!

Pairing guide
Made from delicious Cinsault grapes and offering elegant notes of raspberry and cherry, this delightful rosé is perfect for serving at lunchtime alongside lighter and healthy dishes of grilled chicken breast, tofu, noodle salads, and especially fat prawns tossed in garlic and ginger. It’s also a surprisingly good barbecue wine; it’s going to love being paired with pork sausages, rare lamb chops, and punchy offal dishes like chicken livers on toast, and is equally at home with pasta alla arrabiata, tomato salads, and tangy berry desserts!

Pays d'Oc, France
Pays d'Oc is a wine region located in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is known for producing a wide variety of wine styles, including red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines. The region has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, which allows for the production of full-bodied red wines made from grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan. Pays d'Oc also produces aromatic white wines made from grape varieties such as Viognier and Chardonnay, as well as crisp rosé wines made from Grenache and Cinsault.
