Rove Wines Perfect for Spring
Ragaire Rosé
There’s something undeniably joyful about a glass of rosé on a spring afternoon, and our Ragaire Rosé is no exception.
This radiant, blush-hued beauty bursts with notes of fresh strawberries, juicy citrus, and delicate florals. Its bright acidity makes it a perfect pairing for spring favorites like a fresh berry salad, a creamy goat cheese tart, or a simple charcuterie board.
Best enjoyed: Chilled on a sunny patio, paired with laughter and light conversation.
Fiona Rónda
A hidden gem in our lineup, Fíona Rúnda is as intriguing as its name suggests.
This wine is a symphony of fruit and florals, offering an expressive bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, honeysuckle, and a touch of citrus zest. It’s smooth yet vibrant, making it an excellent choice for grilled vegetables, herbed chicken, or an al fresco dinner under twinkling string lights.
Best enjoyed: With good friends, a garden-fresh meal, and the golden glow of a spring sunset.
Pinot Grigio
Crisp, clean, and endlessly refreshing, our Pinot Grigio is a springtime essential.
Notes of orange and honeydew melon come together in a delicate balance, delivering a lively and invigorating sip. This wine is the ultimate companion for light seafood dishes, pasta primavera, or a breezy picnic by the lake.
