Rondo rosé 2021

(8 customer reviews)

NEW! 2021 release –It’s another bold, colourful year for our 2021 Rondo rosé. Well balanced and fruity as ever with that deceptively delicious ‘summer in a bottle’ flavour. A smaller crop seems to have intensified the character with notes of strawberry and raspberry plus a cranberry and cherry finish. The perfect tipple to bring a ray of sunshine to your day.

THE TASTY BIT

Off dry, Summer berries
food pairing iconPair with charcuterie, paella + Asian dishes

Bold in colour and flavour our Rondo rosé serves up delicious hints of strawberry and raspberry with zingy cranberries and cherries to finish. Why not sit back and relax with a chilled glass (4°C) in hand or pair with delicate meats such as duck, lamb and fresh Devon seafood. The finishing touch to a BBQ or summer evening in the garden. We also love to pair our Rondo rosé with local charcuterie, fresh paella + Asian dishes.

THE YEAR

2021 was an exciting and progressive year for us. Not only did we jump into our second vintage with renewed passion but we also put our bougies (could link to the blog?) to the test during a trying period of frosty nights. By protecting the vines against mother nature, we managed to not only save what was to become a great crop but also give the vines a much needed pick-me up after a turbulent few years. Lashings of summer sunshine throughout the rest of the season intensified the flavour of this smaller but just as bold harvest.

THE VINES

We planted our first 500 Rondo (originally from Germany) back in 2012 as a bit of a test next to our Madeleine Angevine. It paid off, the vines love it with us at Alder and grow like crazy (it can be fun pruning them though). Our Rondo rosé has been such a hit that we now have around 1,000 vines and are looking to expand again. Seems everyone wants a bottle of sunshine!

    We have had a few wines from this vineyard in the past and have throughly enjoyed them. I would recommend you try Alder wine and believe you will be impressed.

  4. Belinda Wheeler

    A perfect picnic wine. Light in alcohol and very fruity. We drank the whole bottle sitting in the garden in the lockdown sunshine. Perfect!

  5. Helen BIrch (verified owner)

    My go too wine! Perfect to relax in the garden on an evening with friends. I love the fruity flavours.

  6. Mrs Lesley Stephens

    We tried both wines and really enjoyed them, they are lovely and fresh with different fruit flavours. We also enjoyed lunch at the vineyard a really good visit and will be looking forward to trying more of your delious wine. Only problem is we live nr the Kent coast.

  7. Sharon Hudson

    We visited the vineyard on the most beautiful day, we toured the vines and tasted the amazing wine, and stayed for a bite to eat, all in all a fantastic day out. You can feel the love this family have for what they do, and they should be proud of the wine it produces.

  8. Phillip Parker

    Tried this lovely rosé in the Blue Lion Inn, also in Lewdown, and it was a wonderful addition to our meal. An enticing nose, rewarded with a beautiful, fruity flavour.
    We shall be popping over to Alder soon for a few bottles.
