The Rose Report – Think Pink

Welcome to The Rosé Report.

Here pink wine gets the attention it deserves. Great rosé is as versatile as it gets. Brilliant on its own, perfect with friends, and one of the finest food wines there is, equally at home alongside grilled fish, spicy curries or a Sunday roast. Every review here is entirely independent, built on four decades of tasting and writing. No sponsorship, no influence, just honest opinion. Let’s find your next favourite bottle.
