This pink wine doesn’t just look beautiful, it’s brimming with fruity and floral aromas that make it perfect for a summer’s day.

Every sip invokes the sweet flavours of field-ripe strawberries, watermelon rind, and rose water, which is perfectly balanced by a subtle tartness and acidity. It’s a mellow and clean crowd-pleaser that pairs well with salad or a light meal.

This unique tequila spends up to a year in new American oak barrels, giving it a perfect balance of agave and woody flavours. It’s also got citrusy, tropical notes, a subtle vanilla taste, and an incredibly smooth finish, which make it ideal for sipping neat over ice.

It’s also a perfect addition to any classic tequila cocktail — try it in a margarita or a Mexican Paloma.
