September has over recent years given us a few warm days, and with that an opportunity to squeeze the last out of those rosé wine sales. Weather has also played its part in tightening supply globally on Provence Rosé and Zinfandel Rosé, so there’s room for change on your list
We’ve got a huge range of pink wine that extend well beyond that familiar Cali Zin. Here are a few to whet your whistle; from the pale and delicate to the rich and juicy
