Details
Made from Shiraz, this rosé from the Limestone Coast in SA is a tangy berry bomb that works straight out of the fridge, all year round! Zesty flavours of raspberry pip and rhubarb, pomegranate and strawberry combine for a spot-on package. Bright acidity and a lovely soft texture ensure you'll be reaching for a second glass in no time...
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: In Ancient Greece, some of the first wines ever made were rosé, made by blending white and red wines!

Pairing guide
Hailing from South East Australia, this beautiful pink wine is yet another superb release from the Fox Tales team. When it comes to food pairing, we reckon it’s a top match for dishes featuring pork loin with fresh tomatoes or salty ingredients like capers and green olives. Italian-style tuna and bean salads will work well, and it’s also great with a veggie bolognese or lasagna. Tuna steaks, roast side of salmon, ham and cheese combos and pasta salads are also a great idea with this wine.

Wine region

Limestone Coast, Australia
The Limestone Coast is a large wine zone in the south-east of South Australia which has six wine regions that comprise the Limestone Coast; Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Robe and Wrattonbully. The Limestone Coast is in a unique position with cool winds and ocean waters throughout the summer months thanks to an oceanic event called the Bonney Upwelling which helps keep the vineyards cool during the hot summer months. The Limestone Coast produces a wide range of quality wines from classic Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz in Coonawarra to cool-climate varieties like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Robe and Mount Gambier. It is truly a versatile area and one of the backbones of the Australian wine industry.
