Domaine Horgelus' Rosé is one of those bottles that just gets everything right—bright, vibrant, and packed with character. On the nose, it’s bursting with sweet wild strawberries, juicy blackcurrants, and zesty citrus, while the palate brings a refreshing lift of wild herbs and tangy acidity. It’s smooth, dry, and effortlessly moreish.
Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat and Merlot—an unusual but inspired trio—this rosé combines structure with charm. Cabernet and Tannat lend depth and a touch of backbone, while Merlot softens things out, bringing an easy-going, fruit-forward feel. And thanks to night-time harvesting (a smart move in warmer regions), all that freshness is beautifully preserved.
Pale in colour but anything but shy, this is a rosé that’s as at home in a sunny garden as it is brightening up a grey afternoon. It’s lively, generous, and just plain delicious—like a little bottle of Gascon sunshine.
"A delicious refreshing light rosé, brimming with lightly textured ripe strawberry fruits. Perfect on its own, with salads or grilled white meats."
John Wilson, The Irish Times
"Pungent herbs and fresh basil leaves. Berry juicy and fruity with a herbal tone. Needs robust food - beef burgers with a spicy tomato relish."

Vintage report
The 2025 vintage in England's South West is, frankly, still a work in progress as far as our full picture goes — harvest only completed in autumn 2024 for the 2024 wines, and reliable aggregated data on 2025 is not yet widely published. What we can say is that the South West's maritime climate, moderated by the Gulf Stream and shaped by Atlantic weather systems rolling in off Cornwall and Devon, means producers here are perpetually reading the skies and managing ripening right up to the wire. Cooler, wetter summers tend to favour Bacchus, Seyval Blanc, and the region's increasingly confident sparkling base wines; warmer ones push Pinot Noir and Chardonnay closer to something genuinely exciting.
Rather than reach for detail we cannot stand behind, we'd say watch this space — and in the meantime, trust the growers. The South West has producers, Camel Valley and Knightor among them, who have learned to work with whatever the Atlantic throws at them. When we have firm vintage data we'll update accordingly. If you're choosing something now, the most recent releases from reliable estates here are drinking well young, built for freshness rather than the cellar, and best enjoyed sooner rather than held in hope.
