uncork the joy of rosé, where every pour is a celebration.
- Cháteau Pas De Loup
In the heart of Val De Loire, France, stands our charming estate, home to the iconic Pink Château. Rich in wine heritage, the Loire Valley is our playground. Here, we craft rosé wines that celebrate life in every shade of pink.
RoséRose – Still or Sparkling?
We’re not your average winemakers. We’re bold, cheeky, and a bit sassy – like your favourite glass of RoséRose. Savour our classic Still Rosé, or crack open a bottle of our Sparkling for that extra oomph.Grab hold of life..and give it a little shake
Chase the thrill. Ditch the dull. Spice it up. Sip in style with our pink wines and make every occasion, from big to small, a toast to life’s sweetest moments. It’s not just a choice, it’s a lifestyle.RoséRose
