Details
This Grenache-Syrah rosé blend is alive with attractive floral notes on the nose alongside a sharper, green strawberry character. This is rich and creamy on the palate with a ripe fruit set and persistent, bubbly acidity.
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 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: Other words with an é in them: Beyoncé, Pokémon, Crème brûlée. Yep - rosé is in good company.

Pairing guide
The pitch-perfect blend of Syrah and Grenache varieties in this elegant rosé makes it a food-pairing wonder of a wine, and keen home cooks will have plenty of delicious options to choose from when it comes to matching some seriously tasty flavours. We love this wine with a rare rack of lamb, coating in a lovely herb crust... but it’s every bit as good with dishes featuring salami, chorizo or black pudding, roasted tomatoes, red peppers, punchy cheese or heartier fish, curried cod and shellfish. Milder curries, duck breast and ham and cheese pastries and pies will also work a treat!
