Apparently this pretty bottle is already flying off Aldi's shelves, so snap some up if you see it as it's worth the hype. As orange wines are made from leaving white grapes on their skins to extract colour and tannin, and rosé is (usually) made similarly using red grapes, the Rosorange name refers to it being a blend of both: Cinsault, Grenache, Grenache Gris, Macabeu and Vermentino. It's textured and lipsmacking, with flavours of quince, orange peel and cherry bitters. A friendly, affordable and tasty introduction to orange wines.
