Let’s live life through rose-tinted glasses…not ones you wear on your face, but ones you can drink from!
A chilled glass of rosé is the ideal drop for a Summer barbeque, picnic in the park, or romantic Valentine’s Day dinner – it is deliciously dry and fruity, best enjoyed with seafood, chicken, pink lamb and soft cheese.
Rosé is a type of wine that incorporates some of the colour of the grape skins, but not enough to qualify as a red wine. A common misconception is that rosé can be made by mixing white and red wine, in fact this process is frowned upon by the wine community.
Here are our top six tips to ramp up romance come Valentine’s Day:
Innocent Bystander’s Moscato is bubbly and flirty…sure fire to ramp up the romance.
