A deeply coloured, structured rosé from Niagara made from Pinot Noir, Lemberger and Gamay. Think juicy strawberry, tart cherry and dark raspberry with florals, dried herbs and a subtle savoury edge. It’s completely dry, with bright acidity and enough texture and grip to blur the line between rosé and a very light red.

Roselana is Pearl Morissette’s decidedly unconventional take on rosé. The 2024 fruit is harvested and fermented separately, with a short five-day stay on the skins before the wine comes together in concrete. That brief maceration gives it considerably more colour, structure and personality than your typical pale patio rosé.

The blend is part of what makes it so interesting. Pinot Noir brings perfume and red fruit, Gamay adds brightness and energy, while Lemberger brings spice, colour and a little extra backbone.

Rosé that refuses to be background music. Get it cold, but maybe don't save it just for summer.
