Rose Wines Introduction

Santa Margherita Chiaretto Stilrose is a superb rose for the discerning wine drinker. Pale salmon pink in colour, full and round in the mouth with complex concentrated flavours. Gentle acidity cleanses the palate on the long finish. This wine is the Italian equivbalent to good Cotes de Provence, although this is comparatively low in sulphites too (which is very difficult to find in France). This is the Italian "Whispering Angel".

A Rose Cotes du Rhone made from a blend of traditional Rhone varietals. Pale salmon pink in colour. Sweet red fruits on the palate with good weight and a crisp dry finish.

A Rose Cotes du Rhone Villages "Reserve" wine made from Grenache and Syrah. This wine is lovely. Pale salmon pink in colour with some legs. On the palate there is plenty of red fruit, good body giving a full moutfeel, then crisp acidity coming in on the long finish. It's one of our bigger more complex rose wines, lovely to savour but also well suited to a whole variety of foods including barbeque. Highly recommended.

The Tampesta Golan Rose differs from their standard Rose as it is 100% Prieto Picudo (as opposed to having some Tempranillo) and is has been aged on the lees and in wood for a few months to give a fuller body and more complexity. It is lovely!

This Tampesta Rose from the DO Tierra de Leon in North Western Spain is a lovely soft and fruity natural Rose made by expert Galician winemaker Luis Buitrón, vice-president of the Spanish Federation of Winemakers and president of the Association of Oenologists of Galicia.

This is a lovely Rose. A nose of strawberries, so it comes as no suprise to get strong strawberry flavours on the palate. Plenty of fruit with a full mouthfeel and creamy texture. The wine has a crisp, dry finish leaving you wanting more. Ideal as an aperitif, for sipping in the garden or can partner certain foods such as chicken or white meats. Reminiscent of unsugared stawberries and cream!

A lovely rose made from Tempranillo and Merlot. Fermented with the grapes natural yeasts without additives, then lightly fined with egg whites. It's very low in sulphites as Valtonar are ardent fans of making wines as naturally as possible.

Soft strawberry flavours with good body and a dry finish.

Don't be put off by the amateur photo - it isn't this dark in real life. It's a lovely wine, give it a go!

La Selva Organic Rosato IGT is a delicious soft and fruity rose wine with a dry finish. Goes great with salads, seafood and white meats or is lovely to enjoy on it's own.

Due to a technical issue with our organic licensing body for importing organic wines from outside the EU, we have had to have our latest shipment of Frey wines declassified from organic to non organic to clear Customs and meet EU regulations. We had to do this to avoid them being stuck in port for weeks while we sorted out this mess. Hence we are not permitted to market them as organic or even to describe them as organic. We will also be making changes to the physical labels on the bottles to remove the word organic. We apologise for any disruption this may cause and for defacing the labels on these superb wines.

A popular dry rose from Frey. This is a little more tannic than their softer Natural Rose.

This is Anton's brand new Rose - please excuse the photo it isn't entirely accurate. This wine is a beautiful pale copper in colour, very similar in appearance and style to good Cotes du Provence - it is beautiful! Very low in sulphites too.

Domaine Mayrac have improved on their No SO2 Rose with this Esprit Natur Rose. Still sulphite free and fully organic of course, but this wine is made from 100% Cabernet Franc as opposed to Cinsault in their No SO2 wine.

It's fruity and fresh with a bit more mouthfeel and a longer finish.
