Details
This is a deliciously textural and charming rosé from France that could quite easily be from Provence. There is plenty of citrus, and a zesty grapefruit vibe and oodles of freshness with a slightly waxy mouthfeel. This is a wine that screams summertime!
'La Vie en Rose' perfectly encapsulates what we love about southern France's crucial wine region of Pays d'OC. This part of the country plays host to an insane amount of variety and is home to without doubt the most varied selection of grape types in France, and by proxy, the world. Here it's warm, offering vineyards and grapes enough sunlight and goodness to be able to ripen grapes effortlessly, as well as vineyards at altitude, also allowing them to hold their freshness and retain crucial levels of acidity that are all-important for balance in the wine. La Vie en Rose's fruit is sourced from such vineyards at altitude. Fermentation and brief ageing is carried out in stainless steel fermenters to retain aromatics and freshness; the result is a beautifully elegant wine with packaging to match. This is a mini-Provence for an exceptional price.

Pairing guide
Made from delicious Cinsault grapes and offering elegant notes of raspberry and cherry, this delightful rosé is perfect for serving at lunchtime alongside lighter and healthy dishes of grilled chicken breast, tofu, noodle salads, and especially fat prawns tossed in garlic and ginger. It’s also a surprisingly good barbecue wine; it’s going to love being paired with pork sausages, rare lamb chops, and punchy offal dishes like chicken livers on toast, and is equally at home with pasta alla arrabiata, tomato salads, and tangy berry desserts!
