Lidl has released a new ombré rosé range with wine from the palest pastel pink to vibrant cerise, to dispell the myth that colour strength depicts the flavour.
The range features dark coloured, dry rosé wines among paler wines, to prove that brightly coloured rosés have ‘just as much to offer as pale styles’.
The Lidl Wine Tour selection and everyday core wines are available in stores UK wide from just £3.99.
Lidl’s ombré rosé range features six wines, three of which will hit shelves for the first time.
This includes the Rosata Toscana, £5.99 – which is pale pink in colour and dry.
There’s also the Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie – Blush, £4.29, which is ‘simply and dry’ from Italy and is also ‘light, clean and fruity’ with strawberry aromas.
The Kamocsay Ákos Pinot Noir Rosé costs £5.99 and comes from a top Hungarian producer. It’s made from the Pinot Noir grape and has a light spritz with strawberry notes.
Next is the Cepa Lebrel Rioja Rosado DOCa, £5.49, which is also dry.
The Mezquiriz Navarra Rosé, £3.99, is described as being ‘fresh’ with notes of redcurrant and cherry fruit, and finally, the Australian Shiraz Rosé, £4.49, is a fruity, off-dry and easy-drinking wine.
Richard Bampfield, Master of Wine for Lidl said: ‘Pale rosé is enjoying its moment but darker shades can offer the best of both worlds with the flavour complexities of a red wine along with the freshness of a chilled white.
‘Championing rosé from across the world, Lidl’s new wine collection showcases quality wines from Spain to Australia at fantastic value for money.’
Three tips for buying and serving rosé:
1. Don’t be fooled by the colour when buying a rosé – many deeper coloured rosés are dry
2. Rosé from Spain, known as Rosado, is a great value choice if you’re looking for a pretty pink rosé that is dry
3. Rosé is best served chilled – if it’s not cold enough, you could add a ice cube
