Details
Wandering Bear's rosé reminds us a little bit of a white Zinfandel-style pink. This is medium-dry, with red gummy bear fruit and sweet notes of strawberry and cream across the nose and palate. Easy-drinking!

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 gets frowned upon by some serious wine people. These people are fools. Rosé is great. Tell them we said so.

Pairing guide
Deliciously fruity and bursting with soft berry notes, this delicious rosé from Wandering Bear is a proper treat and one you’re sure to love. We reckon it’s a top pairing for barbecued sausages, chicken breast salads and grilled prawns, but it’s also going to be fantastic with a Thai red or jungle curry, family favourites like chicken tikka masala, and all kinds of salty cheeses, olives, anchovies and picnic classics ranging from pasta salad to pork pies.
