Our criteria for a good rosé are simple: fresh, low alcohol, and inexpensive. Sure, there’s plenty of serious rosé out there that’s tasty – but for the summer we like to keep it straightforward. On a muggy summer afternoon, there’s little more welcome than a cold splash of rosé in a gently fogged glass.
Our most popular rosé is from the Domaine Sanzay, a fifth generation organic winemaker in the central Loire Valley. Their pure Cabernet Franc rosé is delightful year in and year out – perfect on its one, but a great match for goat cheese on crackers.
The 2025 has (finally) arrived, and is ready to settle in next to your pool, patio, or picnic. The nose shows fresh strawberry, lime zest and quiet minerals. The mouth is dry and crisp, with a quick, clean finish. It’s everything you want, and nothing you don’t. Cool off with this all summer long – the kids get sprinklers and bubbles; we’ve got rosé.
