Our newly released 2019 Rosé is the ideal spring sipper to toast to the weekend. A glass of chilled Rosé is also an unsuspecting wine to serve with your favourite Barbecued foods when looking for a lighter wine pairing. Often Rosés have more body than some white wines while still being crisp and refreshing, balancing out the flavours of lighter grilled foods such as pork, chicken and seafood nicely.
