Rosé

Rosé wine is one of the most versatile and stylish wine styles, celebrated for its refreshing character and wide appeal. Made from red grapes with only brief skin contact, rosé takes on its delicate pink colour and light fruit flavours without the depth or tannin of a red wine.

Rosé can range from pale, dry, and elegant (as in Provence, France) to fruitier, fuller styles from Spain, Italy, or New World regions. Common flavours include strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, citrus, and melon, sometimes with floral or herbal notes. Most rosés are best enjoyed young, highlighting their crisp acidity and vibrant fruit.

For UK drinkers, rosé is a year-round choice: refreshing as a summer aperitif, but equally food-friendly with seafood, charcuterie, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, curries, and soft cheeses. Whether pale and mineral or juicy and fruit-forward, rosé offers a stylish balance of freshness and flavour in every glass.

Cielo Pinot Grigio Rosé 2024 (6 Bottles) Delle Venezie, Italy

£79.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Cielo e Terra has dual roots in the Veneto region: the Cielo family and the winemakers of the Cantine dei Colli Berici. The Cielo family’s bond with the land dates back to 1908 in the Vicenza countryside, near the Castles of Romeo and Juliet, where the great-grandfather had bought Casa Defrà, a small farm with a vineyard. They enjoy making wines with passion and innovation to create signature versions of traditional Italian wines, looking for the right balance between personality and easy-drinking.

This wine reveals a delicate light pink hue, reflecting its fresh and vibrant character. The bouquet is lively and persistent, offering inviting fruity aromas with notes of pineapple and strawberry. On the palate, it is soft and slightly mineral, delivering a well-rounded, balanced profile. Fruity nuances continue through the finish, which is smooth and enduring, with a gentle aromatic lift that adds finesse.

11% ABV. Vegan Friendly.

Domaine d`Altugnac, Origines Rosé Turitelles 2024 (6 Bottles) Languedoc-Roussillon, France

£94.00
by Bancroft Wines

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Childhood friends Christian Collovray and Jean-Luc Terrier each grew up in a family of winemakers and shared a bond from a young age. Following the success of Domaine des Deux Roches, in 1997 Christian and Jean-Luc branched out from Mâcon and purchased land in the southwest of the Languedoc in Limoux. This site benefits from an elevation of up to 500 meters, thereby moderating the Mediterranean climate. The shallow, limestone-based soils are ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Hailing from the high-altitude vineyards of the Vallée de l’Aude in the Languedoc, this wine takes its name—Turitelles—from the distinctive cone-shaped marine fossils scattered throughout the soils, lending a vibrant, mineral-driven edge. On the palate, it bursts with crunchy red berries and juicy peach, finishing with an ultra-light, refreshing crispness.

12.5% ABV, Vegan Friendly.

Monte del Frà (meaning ‘land of the monks’) gets its name from the late 15th century, when a group of Friars formed a monastery on the land. Some hundred years later, the friars leased 25 hectares for the cultivation of vineyards and fruit trees. You can, in fact, still see this document today in the Vienna’s historic library. Fast forward several centuries, and Monte del Frà is now in the very capable hands of the Bonomo family. For over six decades the family have farmed this land, now resting firmly with the third generation; Marica, Silvia and Massimo Bonomo.

Delicate scents of berry fruits, raspberries, redcurrants, and wild flowers, accompanied by light and refreshing hints of green apples and by spicy tones, cinnamon, cloves and vanilla.
