Details
Jean-Paul's rosé is a light, zippy and tart little number. Up top the nose is packed with hints of rock melon and pear skin. In the mouth, this is tart, with lots of citrus character and lifted, racy acidity.
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 France it’s called Rosé, in Italy they’re called Rosato, and in Spain it’s Rosado.

Pairing guide
This beautiful rosé wine from Jean-Paul offers mountains of crisp, refreshing and deliciously dry taste sensations. All that bite and breeze calls out to be paired with salty flavours like feta, halloumi, prosciutto, olives and anchovies, and it’s also going to be great with fried fish and seafood. Southeast Asian curries and chilli-spiked broths will be great, as will spicy Singapore noodles, hotter Indian curries and Sichuan-style snapper.
