Rosé Reviews
Coeur de Cardeline Rosé
This Provence pink is not coy and pallid: it has a faint strawberry flush and a warm apricoty nose with just a hint of macaroon. With a slight prickle on the palate, this would pair perfectly with ripe melon and Jambon de Bayonne.
Specially Selected French Vegan Rosé
Another stylish pink wine from Aldi, this time in a substantial bottle with an upmarket black and gold label (user alert: the bottle is so tall you may find it challenges your fridge space). But it’s not just about the look of the bottle.
Fairmile Vineyard Rosé Sparkling Wine
From the home of Henley Royal Regatta, this stylish pink English fizz is produced from classic Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir to yield an award-winning glass of bubbly. Made by the traditional in-bottle fermentation method as used in Champagne, here’s a wine to celebrate the summer of 2021 in style.
Kylie Minogue Rosé 2020, Vin de France
Kylie and pink wine – what a perfect combination of lovely frivolity. And being frivolous is something we all badly need in our lives. So, grab a bottle of this apricot-tinted rosé and enjoy its flavours of lightest lychee, peach and just a hint of marshmallow at the finish.
Gerard Bertrand ‘Côte des Roses’ 2020
Gérard Bertrand’s Cote des Roses is a lushly presented flower of a wine, right down to the rose etched in the base of the bottle. Don’t be fooled by its fancy appearance though; this is a well-made, balanced blend of three classic southern grapes grown in the Languedoc.
