1 x Roseveille Grenache Rosé 2021 - South of France, France
One of the largest and best-known wine producers in France. Known as 'the King of Beaujolais'.
The Winemaker “Fragrant, delicate and gourmet aromas” (2019 vintage)
This wine is produced by Les Vins Georges Duboeuf which is one of the largest wine producers in France founded by the late Georges Duboeuf who was affectionately known as 'le roi du Beaujolais' (the king of Beaujolais) or sometimes pape du Beaujolais (Pope of Beaujolais). Les Vins Georges Duboeuf produces a staggering 3 million cases of wine annually. The company is most well-known for its popularization and production of Beaujolais wines. In 2018 Georges’ passed control of his company to his son Franck Duboeuf, who is considered to be one of the key specialists in Beaujolais, its terroir and its wine, and has shifted production to focus more on Beaujolais Nouveau.
Rosé derives its name from the French word for pink. In Spain it is rosado and in Italy rosato. Rosé’s flavours and styles are as varied as the food it matches. Rosé predates white and red wine with ancient rosé-style wines dating back 8,000 years. The colour of a rosé can vary dramatically. A deep fuchsia pink rosé may be bone-dry, though it’s likely to be full flavoured given balance by a gentle squeeze of tannin. Tannin primarily comes from the skin of a grape – as does colour. It’s tannin that sets rosé apart from white and red wine. Almost all wine grapes have clear juice; it’s the skins that give the colour. Grenache is the most popular grape used in rosé, with its lifted confectionary aromas, juicy red fruit flavours and mild-mannered tannins creating the textbook triumvirate for rosé. The temperate Provence region of France is home to some of the world’s most accliamed rosé, perhaps naturally, given it’s widely planted with grenache and its Rhône varietals; mourvèdre, cinsault and syrah.
The South of France is notable among French wine regions for its consistently fine growing conditions. The northern latitude – even though it’s the South of France, the region is still far north of almost all of Spain and Italy’s vineyards – ensures long days during the growing season, so grapes ripen fully. The Gulf Stream and Mediterranean Sea keep it balmy. Steady winds banish humidity that can cause disease in vines and grapes.
Hugging the Mediterranean between Spain and Italy, produces delicious wines suited for this summery milieu: crisp whites and robust reds from the Languedoc, fruit-filled and concentrated reds from Minervois, bright, thirst-quenching rosés from Provence and rich, elegant dessert wines from Banyuls.
1 x Roselegance Beaujolais Rosé 2020 - Beaujolais, France
5 Stars, Winetimes
Winerist Magazine - The Best White and Rosé Beaujolais to Try This Summer "The DuBoeuf family are one of the most well-known and innovative winemaking families in Beaujolais, and their dynamic approach is certainly evident in this exuberant, enticing rosé. It’s tons of fun, a gorgeous shade of salmon pink, fresh, and utterly thirst-quenching. This is the ultimate summer party wine, fruity and zingy with delicious citrus and well-balanced acidity."
Michael Bredahl "The lovely rose color remains brilliant and appealing to wine drinkers. When drank, the taste rolls over to the tongue and lips that are considered suave. The powerful aromas of white fruits like a peach are enhanced with notes of more citrus fruits. It gives inviting, smooth and lip-smacking flavors that are reliable to wine drinkers."
Wine Enthusiast "An innovation for Beaujolais Nouveau, this rosé is made from crisp, fruity Gamay with good acidity and bright flavors of red berries. It's an attractive wine that is refreshing and packed with fruitiness." (2018 vintage)
The Winemaker “Sparkling color in a beautiful rose petal color. Intense and fine aromas of white-fleshed fruit and peach, enhanced with citrus notes. A mouth-watering, melting, gourmet palate with tremendous freshness, a round finish that lasts very pleasantly ... Ideal as an aperitif, an antipasto salad, a pie in the crust. We recommend tasting this wine at 8-10 ° C.”

Wine Enthusiast "In this wine, a whiff of cherry-blossom perfume introduces flavors of fresh strawberry and raspberry. Medium bodied and briskly balanced, the rejuvenating, fruity sip is anchored by a salty, mineral edge." (2020 vintage)
James Suckling "A pretty rosé with sliced-strawberry and lemon aromas and flavors. Medium to full body and a fresh, vivid finish with just a hint of cherries." (2019 vintage)
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate "The cotton candy-scented 2017 Cotes du Rhone Rose is just a little too confected-smelling for me, although it's otherwise pleasantly medium-bodied and does have some bright, citrus-zesty notes on the finish." (2017 vintage)
Wine Enthusiast "Salmon pink in the glass, this concentrated yet spry rosé suggest tart raspberry and cherry flavors with delicate hints of rose petal and bramble. It's still quite fresh a year after bottling and should drink well through the end of 2019." (2017 vintage)
Wine Spectator "Pretty white cherry and rose petal notes are aligned to a light stony spine, keeping this fresh and focused through the finish. Grenache and Cinsault." (2017 vintage)
The Winemaker "Beautiful, delicate colour and clarity, deliciously fruity bouquet full of red berries and memories of summer."
Grenache noir (60%) Cinsault (40%)
Made by award-winning producer, Lavau, this wine comes from a selection of vineyards from across the southern Rhône Valley, running from Montélimar to Nîmes.
The Grenache and Cinsault vines are planted on dry, generally stony, terrain and produce a yield of 46 hl/ha. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival in the winery, and a lightly tinted juice is then vinified like white wine, at the same temperature (16-18°C). Malolactic fermentation is prevented in order to preserve the fresh, crisp character of this rosé. Ageing takes place in vat and the wine is bottled before spring.
Originally from Bordeaux, in France the Lavau family has been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.
The cellars of Lavau are managed by Benoit and Frederic Lavau, who work in partnership with 350 different grape growers. Benoit is a frequent visitor to Singapore and Pop Up Wine events.

James Suckling "Wake up Miraval fans! The super-fresh aromas of red berries, rose petals and orange zest pull you into this very well-made rosé. Crisp and very lively with lightness of touch and vibrant citrus fruit at the finish." (2021 vintage)
Winemaker "Fresh and fruity scent of garden berries, red citrus and a herbal floral. The taste has a wonderfully balanced acidity with berry fruit and a touch of English confectionery and red grapefruit."
50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Cinsault
Alcohol: 12.5%
LivAzur Rosé is a celebration of life along the Côte d'Azur and its famous pale rosé wines. The grapes come from selected locations in the Bouches-du-Rhône department that links the southern Rhône with Provence. After harvesting, the grapes are cooled down before being lightly pressed and then cold-fermented in refrigerated tanks. The wine is then allowed to mature for a few months in steel tanks before bottling.

Wine Enthusiast "All about crisp fruits, this wine is light, bright and immediately drinkable. The red fruits have lively freshness."
Wine Enthusiast "This is a smoothly textured, soft and ripe wine. The blend of Cinsault, Carignan and Grenache delivers raspberry flavors laced with juicy acidity and a crisp aftertaste. Drink now." (2019 vintage)
Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast" Carignan makes an appearance in the blend of this wine alongside Cinsault and Grenache. That adds extra spiciness and emphasizes red-berry fruits in a wine that is fresh and ready to drink." (2018 vintage)
Wine Enthusiast" A simple, soft blend from the south of France, this is a perfect apéritif—bright and crisp with acidity. It's fresh, fruity and ready to drink." (2017 vintage)
This popular soft and elegant rosé is made from a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Carignan. A salmon-hued wine, it is lightly aromatic with notes of honeysuckle and candied fruit. Fresh and dry on the palate, with rich notes of white plums, tangerines, apricots and a hint of grapefruit.
Château Sainte Béatrice is owned by renowned Provence winemaker, Valerie Rousselle who owns the largest winery in the Lourdes region of Provence. The type of winemaking adopted at Château Ste Béatrice is said to be "à la Gironde". This very slow process requires great attention and constant monitoring but allows their wine to reach the fullness of its taste and bouquet. Château Sainte Béatrice has some vines which are 60 years old; the average is 30. Located on hillsides in the Argens River, favoured by a southern exposure, these vineyards are able to take full advantage of the Provencal sun and good irrigation to produce fresh and aromatic Rosés that speak to the wineries motto of “quality and tradition".
Valerie Rousselle (winemaker) "The Rosés are made from red grapes: Grenache, Cinsault. They undergo slow fermentation at low temperature which allows the juice to fully impregnate the aromas contained in the grape pulp, without taking on too much color. This is what gives Château Ste Béatrice rosés their inimitable 'fruity' characteristics."
Côtes de Provence AOC is the largest appellation of the Provence wine region in south-eastern France. It covers roughly 20,000 hectares of vineyards, which produce the vast majority of Provence's rosé wine. This appellation includes most of the viticulture in the Var department.
Rare Rose Blend is used to identify rosé wines made from unusual or rarely seen combinations of grape varieties. There is great variation within the world of rosé, from the fresh, strawberry-tinged wines of Provence to the much-maligned category of White Zinfandel. The grape varieties used are most commonly red, and the pale color is achieved by limiting the contact the grape has with its skins. Usually, rosé wines are made from the grape varieties that are common to where they are made – for example, Provence rosé wines are usually made from a combination of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, while rosé wines from New Zealand are commonly made from Pinot Noir.
