“The thought of travelling to the French Riviera remains a distant fantasy at present, but thankfully this wine of the week will take you there without having to leave your house, which is especially convenient during a global lockdown. The succulent strawberry and melon aromas whisked me away to a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the Med and the touch of fennel surrounded me with native garrigue. With the first sip, I plunged headfirst into cool refreshing waters, and I'll leave what I was wearing up to your imagination. Now THAT'S what you want from a rosé.” — Richard Hemming, MW
