Rosé i-Say
Rosé, we tell you is the new hip thing, last year it was Pinot Grigio, the year before that Cava and peachy Prosecco but this summer it’s that pinkish, blush that we all chose to ignore because it was a little bit naff but my how things have changed. The quality for is so much better you don’t need an ice bucket and a big garden with ducks leisurely, dawdling by to enjoy this drink anymore, now you can drink it all year round, it in fact tastes better in winter just like good Gelato.
Because we at the BSE like to keep you ahead of the pack, we have prepared our first list of 2012 and it’s a list of our three favourite Rosés…drum roll, please:
3. Odd Bins Mourvedre
We like our Odd Bins and Checkers haven’t disappointed with this one at 30 Z-A-R, easy to drink, stock up while the shelves are full before it all disappears.
2. The Strawberry Rosé 2011 (Mooiplaas)
Their ‘other’ label but this one is in no way inferior or less fun, it retails for around 42 Z-A-R
The winner by a country mile and the best Rosé that we have consumed this summer. It’s well priced at 42 Z-A-R, undervalued really but please don’t go spiking the price now and is soft, dry and delicately fruity on the BSE palette.
