PASQUA 11 MINUTES ROSÉ

Pasqua 11 Minute Rosé is made by third generation Italian winemakers Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine. It is a blend of noble Italian native varietals like Corvina and Trebbiano di Lugana and Syrah and Carmenère. The name 11 Minutes refers to the duration of the skin contact, with the full load of grapes being pressed very softly. It comes in both 750ml and 1.5l bottles, with the winemaker saying that the wine is ideal as an apéritif and as an accompaniment to the most delicate dishes.

RUTHERGLEN ESTATES ROSÉ

The Rutherglen Estates Rosé, made from Grenache grapes, is a dry rosé with soft confectionary notes of strawberries and cream, raspberry and subtle spice.
