As green sprouts push through the ground, Provence-pink to electric-neon-rosado wines appear on LCBO shelves. Rosé season has begun! This week we have chosen a wine that marries delicious vino with portability and environmental consciousness – the STEL+MAR Premium Rosé is a refreshing sip of California rosé that comes in a 500ml tetra pack. The perfect amount to share over an al fresco brunch or afternoon picnic, this tetra pack is lighter than glass, lowering its carbon footprint, and can be tossed in the recycling bin or returned like a bottle once you have emptied it. And you’re going to empty it…
Tasting Notes: STEL+MAR Premium Rosé is a blend of Syrah and Grenache – a classic recipe familiar to fans of Rhône Valley and Provence rosés. Watermelon, red berries, melon and apricot are abundant in this poolside/dockside sipper.
Enjoy With: Summer salads, fish tacos, pasta salads, cedar plank salmon, or salt and vinegar chips.
Style: A medium-bodied, fruity, rosé wine.
Terroir / Region: California is home to a diverse range of winegrowing regions and each one imparts its own unique flavour profile into a wine. For that reason, STEL+MAR makes wine with grapes grown across California—from the rolling hills of Paso Robles in the south to the foggy, cool climate of Mendocino in the north. Each year the owners personally select the best lots from each harvest, focusing on wines that above all, showcase the winemaker and wine region’s characteristics.
Producer: STEL+MAR is the result of two friends and their families coming together to make crowd-pleasing and award-winning California wines. Canadian founders Chris and Justin met by chance through their respective kids, Stella and Marcus, and STEL+MAR was born. Their combination of amazing wine and label art has resonated with consumers around the world.
Availability: STEL+MAR Premium Rosé tetra pack is available in the rosé section of your local LCBO and for online ordering now. It’s the perfect way to ring in rosé season!
