Grape – Gamay

With the sun beaming down and Summer finally feeling like it’s in full swing, we thought it was time to shout about some of our favourite kinds of wine to drink in the sun:
Pink and red chillers!
People often ask us about the lesser-known ‘red-chiller’ category, unsure of which wines best suit some time on ice. So, we thought we’d line up some of our favourites to take the guesswork out for you.
From the light, mineral driven rosé’s we know and love, to wild rosados with a little more flesh on their bones, we’ve got deep pet-nat rosé, juicy light reds and category defying field blends.
Thirst-quenching bottles best enjoyed straight from the ice bucket, drunk perfectly chilled.
That’s your picnic-wine sorted!

Elisa Guerin
Beaujolais-Villages 2023

As drinkable as ever, with a nose of cherries, crushed peppercorn spice and violet flowers, followed by some freshly crushed berry fruit and a lick of acidity, all underpinned with stony minerals. Juicy, vivid and wonderfully pure, we're so happy with this year's offering, as Elisa goes from strength to strength. Find out more.

Mikaël Bouges
La Roseur 2023

Simple, thirst-quenching rosé made from the same base wine as his La Bulle pet-nat, a direct press of Gamay and Côt. It's a straightforward vinification, similarly completed in steel only and then bottled young. The style is less fruit-forward, more lean and savoury - little red fruits sit below a more prominent saline minerality. With a good chill this is one of those no-brainer pours for those moments when more is more. Find out more.

Noëlla Morantin
Osiana 2023

A tasty, deeply-coloured rosé that Noëlla has made for the first time. Clean and pristine, with a fresh line of acidity that cuts the raspberry and cranberry fruits with a saline finish.
