Pour this and the room relaxes. Pale petal-pink, properly chilled, dry and gulpable with a little wink of strawberry and citrus. It's the bottle you grab when friends turn up unannounced or the nyama choma is on and you don't want to overthink it. Crowd-pleasing, never boring, and easy on the wallet. We'll have it at your door, cold-ish and quick, whatever the hour.
First sniff is all roses and crushed strawberries, with a bright lift of citrus zest behind it. On the tongue you get juicy wild strawberry and raspberry, a brush of white peach, then it dries out clean and zippy. There's a faint savoury, almost salty snap on the finish that keeps you coming back for the next sip. Light-bodied, refreshing, and bone dry rather than sweet.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from the Perrin family, the same southern Rhône clan behind the legendary Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. La Vieille Ferme ("the old farm") is their everyday line, built to over-deliver for the price. The rosé blends roughly equal parts Cinsault and Grenache with about 20% Syrah, picked early in the morning to keep the fruit fresh, then fermented cool in stainless steel. It's one of the most popular French rosés on the planet, and once you taste it you get why.
