Lots of dark fruit notes also present themselves on the finish, making this quote a textural and gastronomic wine.

Pairing guide
We were enormously impressed by this delicious rosé Pet Nat, which really hit the spot when it came to pairing with some of our favourite dishes and ingredients. We reckon it’s a top match for street food classics like souvlaki skewers, halloumi burgers or Chinese barbecue recipes like char siu bao, and it will also taste fantastic with pulled pork sandwiches and southern fried chicken. Desserts featuring tart berries and white chocolate will work well, as will sweet and sour dishes like Cantonese chicken or prawns with sweet chilli glaze. Fabulous!
