You have to appreciate the down-to-earth yet creative approach, and the results.  By bleeding off some pink juice from their Napa Cab crush, Vinum Cellars winemaker/owners Richard Bruno and Chris Condos are able to produce both this brilliant rosé plus a highly concentrated red Cab. Bruno and Condos report the ...

Another selection from importer Old Bordeaux Wines . This time a rose made from 40% grenache, 30% carignan and 30% syrah. Just the ticket for a red hot Sydney afternoon. The cork looks like a Diam but has no branding on it. Salmon pink. Aromas of red fruit and light florals. On the palate things take a turn for the worse with dry acetone like flavours and the barest hint of fruit. I don’t know...

This wine is made by Davey Family Wines in the McLaren Vale. A radioactive salmon pink – I am sure it would glow in the dark. An odd nose: it is dominated by sweet strawberries and red cherries, but there is a hint of blue cheese, and an underlying earthiness ...

This tasty Rosé is from the Bourré in the Loire Valley. Sorry about the battered wine label. The winery is owned by David Levin and the winemaker is Thierry Merlet. Thierry has a diverse past, having received training at Château la Tour Blanche in Bordeaux and in Burgundy, and has ...

Not the one made by French winemaker Isabelle Dutartre at De Ponte Cellars ... than any French Rose, I've ever tasted."
