Banrock Pink MoscatoSummer’s finally here and what better way to celebrate than with a refreshing, light and crisp glass of rosé?

Here are 5 affordable rosé wines to kick start the summer with:

  • 2012 Banrock Station Pink Moscato ($8) – delicate pink in the glass with refreshing, lightly floral flavors.
  • Pierre Sparr Crémant D’Alsace Brut Rosé ($15) – fragrant strawberry aroma and flavor with a hint of citrus.
  • 2012 My Essential Rosé ($16) – palest of pinks in the glass, this rosé smells and tastes of wild strawberries with a crisp, dry finish.
  • Lucien Albrecht Crémant d’Alsace Brut Rosé NV ($25) – features rich strawberries-and-cream flavors.
  • Schramsberg Mirabelle Brut Rosé ($25) – juicy fruit flavors and a slightly spicy finish.

What are of your favorite rosé wines?

Cheers,

Veronique

18 June 2013 Super Value and Taste for Summer from Banrock Station Moscato

Super Value and Taste for Summer from Banrock Station Moscato

June 18, 2013 By

Banrock Pink MoscatoLast weekend, I hosted my 4th Annual Food and Wine Chickie Lobsterfest and was really pleased with the two wines I poured for an aperitif. Both were sipped along a variety of foods ranging from light to very rich and stood up nicely.

2012 Banrock Station Pink Moscato ($8), delicate pink in the glass with refreshing, lightly floral flavors. The small amount of fizziness and nice level of acidity balance out most of the sweetness.

2012 Banrock Station Moscato ($8), lightly citrusy on the nose, tropical fruit flavors and bright and refreshing finish.

Banrock MoscatoThese wines from Australia’s McLaren Vale region are affordable, approachable and delicious.

Cheers,

Veronique

These wines were provided to me for sampling and I’m adding to my repertoire as they’re truly enjoyable.
