Summer would
not be summer without drinking a glass of chilled rosé, though
there is no reason not to drink it anytime of year. Here are three good
ones to tantalise the taste buds.
Made from 85
per cent lefkada, a local grape variety that is dark in colour with a potent
berry flavour and 15 per cent cabernet franc to take off any hard edges.
This is a
crisp cherry-soaked wine with zippy hints of pomegranate that is a delight to
drink.

A classic
salmon-hued Bandol Rosé with a strawberry-tinged palate and a smattering of
herbs and spice. With a crunch of refreshing acidity, this is a captivating
wine.
Rosato,
Colli della Toscana Centrale, 2013, Villa Calcinaia, Greve, Berry Bros.
& Rudd (www.bbr.com) £12.95
A heady
mix of red fruits and Tuscan sun that fuels memories of summer holidays in
Italy. A well-balanced wine that slips down a treat. It is not too high in
alcohol (13 per cent ) so perfect for Sunday lunch.
