In these troubled times we might not be able to explore unknown lands or even pop to the local pub. But we can have wine delivered right to our door. Travel Begins at 40 has teamed up with Wine Buyers to come up with some rosé wine suggestions to herald the onset of Spring and make your coronacation a bit more in the pink.
Rose Wine Suggestions
Chateau L’afrique, Famille Sumeire, Cotes De Provence Rosé, France, 2018
Grapes: Syrah / Shiraz, Grenache
ABV: 13%
Price: £14.99
Exhibiting nuances of rosewood with an intense and rich perfume of crisp apples and passion fruit, this is a delicate refreshing style of rosé, which instantly recalls sun-tan lotion and deck chairs.
Terrafusa – Storta 2018
Grapes: Nerello Cappuccio, Nerello Mascalese, Carricante
ABV: 12.5%
Price: £16.15
A low intervention wine from the slopes of Etna, this is fresh and easy-drinking like most rosés. A complex taste, combining floral notes and grapefruit which makes this even more enticing.
Meneghetti Rose 2018
Grapes: Merlot, Syrah / Shiraz
ABV: 12%
Price: £10.68
Here is evidence of Croatia’s burgeoning reputation for making singular wines. Fresh, vivacious and pleasant acids, taste is dominated by aromas of fruit and cherry.
Westwell – Ortega Rose 2018
Grapes: Ortega, Pinot Noir
ABV: 11.5%
Price: £13.50
This rosé has a nose of wild strawberries and honeysuckle, with flavours of redcurrants, melon and a twist of white pepper on the finish. It is from one of the few UK producers achieving success with organic viticulture in our damp climate.
