My wine review this month for the Central England Co-Operative is a beautiful, peach coloured, Pic Saint Loup 2013 rosé from the Languedoc region of Southern France, close to Montpelier.
This wine is part of the Co-Operative’s Truly Irresistable range of wines and is in the Top 100 wines produced from the South of France. It has ‘appellation d’origine protégée’ or ‘protected designation of origin’ which means that this wine can only be produced from grapes grown in this area (much as Champagne can only be grown from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France). It’s produced from a blend of the Syrah and Grenache grapes.
This light, crisp dry rosé wine is perfect when served chilled to accompany light pasta dishes, such as my Fusilli Al Vegetali, pizzas, salads and charcuterie. Simply in a glass on it’s own is a wonderfully pleasant drink too.
I can imagine sipping a glass (or two) of this, whilst sitting in the setting summer sun, eating some fabulous food and chatting to friends. Cheers!

I was sent a voucher to purchase a bottle of wine of my choice from the range available in the Co-Operative. The review above is my personal opinion of the bottled wine that I chose.
