The story of Toi Toi Sara's Rose

Sara's Rosé is named after Sara Joyce, who owns Toi Toi with her husband Kevin. The Joyces' family label made its first vintage in 2007, and this rosé was crafted in Sara's honour because in her twenties she loved a drier style of rosé. That one detail explains the wine: it is made crisp and dry rather than sweet.

The winery describes a light salmon colour and aromas of red berry fruit, mandarin and florals. The palate is crisp and mouth-watering, up front and zesty, with a lingering fruity finish. It is not the same wine as Sara's Lite Rosé, a separate lower-alcohol release in the same style, so this is the standard bottle.

The winery's own food match is grilled chicken breast with a blackberry and corn salsa, and asparagus on the side. It also works with lighter things on a warm afternoon, such as prawns, pickled vegetables or a board of mild cheeses. Keep it well cooled so the mandarin and berry freshness comes through.
