La vie en rosé

by Alice King
continued from page 1
  • Rosé Vin de Pays de l’Hérault, 2000 Domaine Virginie, £2.99, Marks & Spencers. This brilliant, value-for-money rosé is salmon-pink in colour and makes for a great aperitif, as well as tasting good with tangy summer salads. Strangely enough, it also goes well with goats’ cheese.
  • Nagyrede Cabernet Sauvignon 1999, £3.49, Waitrose. Really unusual Hungarian rosé with orangey-pink hues. The aroma is reminiscent of strawberry jam. The perfect foil for Peking duck with plum sauce.
  • Hardy’s Stamp of Australia Grenache/Shiraz Rosé 2000, £4.79, Waitrose. This smells and tastes like raspberries with a hint of cinnamon. It’s pinky-red in colour and tastes great with garlic prawns, grilled scallops and lobster.
  • Somerfield Portuguese Rosé, £2.99. Medium-coloured, medium-dry rosé with a hint of perfumed sweetness on the finish. Tastes excellent with korma curries and stir-fries with black bean sauce.
  • Tesco Rosé del Umbria, £3.49. Pale pink, this dry Italian rosé tastes delicious with creamy pasta dishes.
  • Van Loveren Blanc de Noir 2000, £3.99, Safeway. Pinky-purple in colour, this South African rosé is medium-dry with full-bodied fruit. Try it with fruit-based puddings or any meat with a fruit-flavoured sauce.
  • Domaine de Sours Rosé 2000, £5.49 Sainsbury’s. One of the best, most complex and stylish rosés around, this wine is made in Bordeaux by Englishman Esme Johnson. Medium-pink in colour, it has masses of mouth-watering red-berry-like fruit. Try it with roast beef, lamb or pork.
  • Big Frank’s Deep Pink 2000 Merlot Rosé, £3.99, Sainsbury’s. As the name suggests, this is really deep-red pink in colour, with mind-blowingly explosive fruit on both its aroma and flavour. It is the perfect complement to barbecued ribs and spicy Toulouse sausages.
