On 18 June 2024, we held our first Fine Rosé Day, looking at rosé as a serious wine beyond a seasonal fashion. We believe rosé needs a platform to discuss its importance in the market, as well as age-worthiness, regional styles and their relevance on restaurant wine lists. Our first Fine Rosé Day included a wines from 16 countries, including a Rioja Gran Reserva, Garrus, Clos du Temple, natural wines, and even a rosé from Tibet.

‘When queen of rosé Elizabeth Gabay MW organises a ‘fine rosé day’ in London, you pay attention. Gabay has her fingers on the pink pulse like no one else, and if anyone can call in bottles of rosé that might be considered ‘fine’, it is she.’

Press coverage included articles in jancisrobinson.com, The Drinks Business, Decanter, The Buyer and podcasts.
‘Liz and Ben’s rosé day was far more than just a joyous celebration of the pink stuff. It was so many things. It was an in-depth analysis and exploration of the current state of play in global rosé. It was an event that challenged assumptions and offered illuminating insights. It was a chance to meet some of the finest rosé producers on the planet and get their views in a convivial atmosphere. Most important of all, it offered an opportunity to taste a broad, eclectic and intriguing range of rosé wines right across the spectrum of this fascinating style. We’ll be queueing up for the next one, accessorised to the max in pink.
