It\u2019s summer and sometimes the sun peeps through the clouds. When it does our thoughts turn to al fresco dining and garden parties. Fizz is often the beverage of choice, but how about something that looks beautiful, tastes of summer fruits and even matches flowery sun dresses?<\/p>\n

Ros\u00e9fine from Marrenon\"rosefine\"<\/h4>\n

The teardrop bottle with a heavy glass base and simple white label speaks of understated style. The light blush of the wine looks delightful in the bottle and tempting in the glass. Best served chilled and with beads of cool condensation. 10\u00b0C is perfect.<\/p>\n

This creditable ros\u00e9 is made with Grenache noir, Syrah and Merlot in vineyards in the south of France. It is harvested at night.<\/p>\n

Tasting notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Appearance: clear and has a pale salmon pink colour<\/p>\n

Nose: both citrus and floral notes. A suspicion of white blossom<\/p>\n

Palate: light, delicate with hints of berries. Works well with salad and also fish or even fruit at the end of a summer meal.<\/p>\n

Finish: not powerful but pleasingly medium long<\/p>\n

Ros\u00e9fine from Marrenon is a good choice for warm-weather sipping. It\u2019s elegant and likely to have universal approval around the outdoor dinner table. Don\u2019t forget the ice bucket, though.<\/p>\n
