As Albertans we suffer through eight (sometimes ten) months of perilous winter and it all pays off once you're able to uncork a bottle of the good stuff, sit outside, and enjoy the summer for all its sweaty splendor! To beat the heat, you can't deny the joy of a supple refreshing glass of a rosé. Have a look through some of our favourites, and shop all rosé here.

Domaine du Salvard
65% Pinot Noir and 35% Gamay $26.33 (+tax/deposit)
The perfect lunchtime wine from the Loire Valley, France.
Elegant and subtle, light pink in colour with a tint of copper. On the nose, it shows fragrant aromas of fresh garden strawberries, blood oranges, rhubarb, and roses. The palate is light-bodied with crisp acidity and lingering minerality. With a lively, dry finish, this wine is best enjoyed well chilled.
Champagne Bartel
70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay $47.86 (+tax/deposit)
Hailing from the Côte des Bar, Champagne's southernmost wine-growing region, this wine's aroma emanates warmth, intertwining notes of red fruits and subtle spices. On the palate, it offers a smooth, velvety texture enriched with elegantly pronounced nuances of red fruits.
Unbelievably refreshing after a long, hot drive to the lake!
Made with organic and sustainably farmed fruit, this little Languedoc Rosé is extremely gluggable. Boasting gentle strawberry and watermelon flavours with a bone-dry finish—a no-brainer to stock up on for those warm afternoons this summer!
Perfect compliment to citrusy salads and BBQ'd seafood.
This small-batch Pinot Noir rosé is sourced entirely from Kaleden, BC. Wild fermented in stainless steel, it is purposely farmed and harvested for low sugar, low alcohol and refreshing acidity with lots of energy and notes of ruby red grapefruit plucked from the tree.
Your ideal poolside companion!
