Rosé Wine and Sunshine go Hand in Hand!
The perfect social wine! From the pretty pink hue to the refreshing taste on a warm summer day, rosé has become one of the "go-to" summer wines. Rosé is not a specific type of grape - it's a genre of wine like white or red. While similar to how red wines are produced, the time that it ferments with grape skins is shorter. The juice is run off the skins early in order to extract only the perfect amount of colour.

Bubbles aren't just for New Years! The world's leading wine markets have been long awaiting the release of Prosecco DOC Rosè.

The category is set to take off and that's because Prosecco DOC Rosè is all about quality.
Viognier – Expressive Aromas

It can offer intoxicating fruit and floral aromas with notes of spring flowers, peaches, apricots and even lush tropical fruits. The palate is dry and full-bodied.

It is produced from the Nebbiolo grape, which is one of the world’s most site-specific varietals. The Nebbiolo grape variety is largely responsible for the quality of this great wine. It is also very demanding, challenging and hard to cultivate. With the King of Wines, there are no compromises.

Appropriate Spring wines will be light, refreshing and pleasant to sip. Welcome to the wonderful world of Pinot Grigio.
Carménère – A Case of Mistaken Identity
The story of Carménère (pronounced "car-men-nair") is quite unique. Native to France, Carménère was one of the original six red varieties of Bordeaux and was best known for its use in Bordeaux blends. This changed in the late 1860s when the phylloxera plague devastated French vineyards and destroyed all of the Carménère plantings.
