Details
Syrah and Garnacha (Grenache) are the two grapes that make up Pez de Rio's delicious rosé. This wine is bursting with red fruit character and so much freshness. Easy-sipping and delicious.
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: Rosé is probably the most versatile and food friendly style of wine in the world, able to be paired with a range of dishes!

Pairing guide
It was love at first sip when we tried this beautiful rosé from Pez de Rio, which perfectly showcases the expressive quality of the winery’s stunning Spanish grapes. When it comes to food pairing, we loved this wine with classic charcuterie - jamon and all the rest works an absolute treat. Garlic prawns, pommes frites, and marinated olives will be especially welcome, and it’s also excellent with barbecued fish and seafood, tomato salads and simple pasta and rice dishes, too.
