You know that first zingy hit of pink grapefruit, all juicy and a little bit sour? Now wrap it in soft rosé and chill it to the bone. That's the move tonight. It's sweet but not sticky, with a bittersweet citrus kick that keeps it lively right to the last sip. At a friendly 8%, it's the bottle you crack on the balcony before anyone's decided where the night's going. Pour it over ice and you're sorted.
The nose is pure pink grapefruit, sweet and fresh, like someone just sliced one open next to you. First sip lands sweet and fruity, then the grapefruit does its thing: a little tangy, a little bitter, that grown-up citrus twang that stops the whole thing being a fruit juice. Underneath it all the rosé keeps things smooth and rounded so nothing feels sharp. Light on its feet, properly thirst-quenching, gone before you mean it to be.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Maison Noirot in France, a house that's been playing with plant and fruit flavours since botanist Théodule Noirot opened his doors back in 1890. The flavoured-wine range only launched in 2011, and it took off fast, hundreds of thousands of bottles in year one. The recipe is simple and honest: roughly two-thirds rosé wine (made with Tempranillo grapes) blended with natural grapefruit flavour. Real wine, real citrus, no pretending to be something it isn't.
