Summer is fully upon us meaning long evenings, warm weekend parties and
wedding season being in full swing. At CH we know no summer celebration is complete without the clink of chilled glasses and the gentle blush of a perfectly chosen rosé. Its appeal lies in its versatility, elegance, and refreshing nature, making it ideal for both casual garden events and black-tie receptions.

Why should you pick rosé?
- Everyone loves it! Whilst people claim not to enjoy a glass of rosé screams summer and enjoyment - it’s a great crowd-pleaser, I challenge anyone who believes they can’t find the right pink wine for them! 

- Easy pairing! Get your style of rosé right and it pairs perfectly with everything from light summer salads and seafood to grilled vegetables and charcuterie boards. If you want to push your tastebuds a little further, then dabble in some orange wines too – check out some suggestions below.

At CH we’ve curated a wide and wonderful selection of rosés from across the globe – from the sunny vineyards of Provence to the rolling hills of California with some delicious fizz thrown in for good measure.
