Rose wine from Arthur Rackham Wines

Down in leafy Guildford, Arthur Rackham Wine Emporia are holding a BIG tasting of rosé wines on Saturday 9 August 2008 from noon to 6pm.

Increasingly, more and more winemakers are taking rosé wines seriously. No longer necessarily light, frothy and overly sweet, rosé wines now come in a myriad of different styles and flavours. A well made bottle can provide the refreshment of a white wine, with some of the flavours and structure of a red. Some accompany salads, grilled meats and fish, and other summer dishes perfectly, whilst others make delicious aperitifs. All are fun to drink.

There is an impressive selection of pink wines available, New World and Old World and includes some classic Provence rosés from Domaines Ott and Chateau de Pampelonne; a Malbec rosé from Cahors; A Sancerre; wines from Germany, Italy, Spain, Lebanon, Champagne….
