Dolce & Gabbana and Donnafugata, extraordinary ambassadors of Sicilian culture. When you desire creativity and craftsmanship.

ROSA is the rose wine that stands out for its elegant fragrance and minerality. Deriving from the partnership between Dolce & Gabbana and Donnafugata, it is the perfect ambassador of two Made in Italy excellences, united by their unconditional love for Sicily, passion for work and attention to detail.

Bright pale pink in colour, the Donnafugata Dolce & Gabbana Rosa has an elegant bouquet of jasmine and rose petals, with delicate fruity notes of currant and bergamot. It has a very pleasant fragrance and minerality and stands out for its finesse and persistence. 

Upon arrival in the cellars, the grape clusters were transferred to a vibrating table for manual sorting; only the perfectly intact grapes were destemmed and delicately crushed; the cold maceration of the grapes in the must lasted 6-12 hours permitting to obtain the best extraction from the skins of all the aromatic precursors as well as the colour that distinguishes this rose. Once fermentation was completed, the Nerello Mascalese and Nocera were finally blended, followed by two months of ageing in vats and at least 3 months of ageing in the bottle before release.

Dolce&Gabbana, fascinated by this unmistakable colour, strongly desired the production of a rose, and the name ROSA was chosen to emphasize its unique personality. And just as Donnafugata has created a new blend of two Sicilian grape varieties, so Dolce & Gabbana's creativity has taken up the challenge of telling the story of this prestigious wine, overseeing its coordinated image: the immediately recognizable graphics of the materials draw inspiration from the iconic Sicilian cart, which represents the island’s craftsmanship, culture, and tradition the world over.

A blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvedre.

The Chateau Beaulieu Cuvee Alexandre Rose has a brilliantly clear salmon pink colour. Redcurrant and wild strawberry perfumes leaps from the glass and develop into juicy white peach and pear notes. On the palate, the fresh acidity is balanced beautifully with the alcohol, giving an elegant mouthfeel and refreshing length to the Chateau Beaulieu Cuvee Alexandre Rose.

A blend of Garnacha, Viura and Tempranillo.

Very light in colour, mainly pale salmon with orange glints and a bright sheen. On the nose the Bodegas Muga Rosado proves more mature than you might expect for the vintage. The acid fruit is less citrus in character and, in this vintage, ripe peach and pineapple aromas come through more strongly. Full, supple mouth-feel thanks to the time spent on fine lees, adding hints of baker’s shop aromas. The typical acidity of this wine is perfectly balanced to give an overall smooth taste. The aftertaste and retronasal phases are dominated by velvety smooth, yet fresh, sharp peach leaving a lovely final sensation which makes you want to try more.

The AIX Provence Rose is brilliantly sparkling with pink tinge. Delicate perfume of ripe mandarin oranges, raspberries and wild strawberries. Slightly spicy in the taste.

Ideal as an aperitif, but also as a lunch rose when combined with seafood, salads, grilled tuna or roasted chicken.

The Cullen Grace Madeline is pale straw in colour with green tinges. Aromas of cut grass, kaffir lime, figeoa and orange blossom are present.

The palate is fine yet succulent, with zesty citrus flavours and fresh acidity. There is an appealing plushness about this wine especially as it leads into a lingering and characteristically crisp finish.

Fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature to preserve freshness. At the blending bench, only components presenting a true expression of their vineyard site were considered.

The Borthwick Pinot Noir displays the poetic characteristics of the fickle and gratifying variety Pinot Noir.
