This reinvigorating rosé exudes elegance and sophistication, encapsulating the passion and artistry of the internationally renowned Warwick Wine Estate.

Tasting Notes

The fragrance of wild strawberries and rose petals peel off from the glass, the strawberries (with a hint of cream) evolve onto the fruit forward palate, packed with juicy watermelon as well as mouth-watering pomegranate and cranberries, soft and mouth-coating, the wine finishes bone dry with a hint of berry fruit. Crisp and refreshing, yet weighty enough to play nicely with food too. Rosé is the ultimate food pairing wine
