Details
Mytikas have produced a rosé that would fit in nicely alongside a game of tennis on grass with some strawberries and cream tones along with other summer berries for good measure and a nice dropshot touch of savoury spice.
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 in wine comes from the pigment 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: Most rosés don’t improve with many years in the cellar - except for some premium versions from Provence, like Bandol for example - so don’t feel guilty cracking yours mid-week!

Pairing guide
Delicate yet fruity, light yet packing a punch of flavour… this rosé is full of delicious contradictions. We’d love to pair it with the kind of light, fun and fresh meals that spring suggest - think lighter pasta and rice dishes full of spring vegetables or goats’ cheese, raw or lightly cooked shellfish, and a whole range of picnic classics and charcuterie options. Rosé wines like this one also work perfectly with spicy food like Indian curries and Szechuan cuisine, so don’t be afraid of turning up the heat when it comes to chillies and your spice rack! What’s more, this wine loves a bit of smoke and char, so take it along to your next barbecue for a real winning combo.

Wine region
Adelaide Plains, Australia
Adelaide Plains is a wine region located north of the city of Adelaide in South Australia. The region has a lovely mix of cultures from Italian and Vietnamese immigrants who have made a life out of growing fruit and vegetables as well as olives and grapes. There is a real mix of small family run wineries that started with making wine for their own and evolved into recognised wineries. Those that don’t sell their own wine provide quality grapes to other wineries to access.
