This should be a white week but given the difficulty of finding a wine that has an association with the letter Q pale pink will have to do.
Whilst shopping in M&S for an impulsive beef burger and brioche bun combo I spotted:
This is a Provençal style rose made from Merlot and Grenache, in a 70:30 blend, and described on the bottle as being dry. I'm not sure I can agree with the last point as it has a definite sweetness.
It is recommended for drinking with grilled fish and salads, but I went for a cheeseburger and salad (really just coleslaw on the burger) together with a sharing sized bag of maple smoked bacon crisps.
I had had a day of shovelling a cubic metre of topsoil from the front drive (we don't have a rear drive, I'm just trying to be descriptive) to the vegetable bed that I recently rebuilt. Thirsty work, I am sure you will understand. Thirsty enough in fact that I polished off the entire contents of the bottle whilst watching something forgettable on a streaming service I can't recall.
This is a £7 bottle of wine and so my expectations were not high. However, it was exactly what was required. A little sweet but very drinkable. Not a match for a good dry rosé from Provence, but I can imagine this going down very well, lightly chilled, on a balmy summer evening.
It tasted of fresh raspberry and strawberry, offered nothing else and was none the worse for that.
I recently spent a morning judging wines for the People's Choice Wine Awards and the category 'Festival and Picnic drinks' included some truly awful submissions. This wine would serve that purpose very well. Unpretentious, simple and fun.
Buy again? I can't be sure, but wouldn't rule it out.
I enjoyed reading this article. It explains the topic very well. I recently found some useful information about choosing a best financial advisors that complements this discussion.
