A breezy, elegant sip with juicy notes of strawberry and watermelon up front, followed by a hint of wild herbs - thyme especially - and a soft floral touch of jasmine and rose. Underneath it all, a streak of stony minerality adds grip and finesse. It’s dry, razor-sharp in acidity, and feather-light, making it a seriously refreshing option that doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

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: The spectrum of rosé styles is fascinating. Some rosés are so light and crisp that if one tasted them blind, one would think they were a white wine! Whereas others can have so much texture, red fruit and weight that tasted at room temperature, one might think it was a very light red.
