The French lifestyle and wine and food magazine, Terre de Vins, chose 150 roses for summer drinking, and gave the Rives-Blanques Vintage Rose the top points of its pink  fizz selection.

“This wine pulls you in by  the nose”, they say.  “Sheer deliciousness of wild white flowers with ripe currants, loads of fine bubbles, very more-ish on the palate, elegant and delicious.  “

To accompany a lemon meringue pie, or a passion fruit  bavarois.
