Details
Made in a 'white Zinfandel' style, this off-dry rosé is all about that sweet red berry fruit. Juicy and fresh with plenty of likeability, enjoy this with a bit of spice on your plate.

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 France it’s called Rosé, in Italy they’re called Rosato, and in Spain it’s Rosado.

Pairing guide
Make no mistake, we love a great bottle of rosé at any time of the year, and this beautiful release from Showdown effortlessly proves that you don’t need to wait for summertime to crack open the pink wine! It’s a great food pairing wine, too - this vino is a top choice for matching with poached or grilled salmon, curried heartier fish dishes like tikka halibut steaks, all kinds of roast and grilled chicken or turkey creations, and especially with charcuterie and cheese selections. Salty ingredients like green olives, capers and feta always work well, and it’s also great with tomato-based pasta sauces, too.
