Ah, that'll be what that parcel I missed this morning was. Apparently the sender info said "white" so I guess I know what flavour I got :)

Mine came yeterday while i was at work Grin
thought id missed out as i didnt get emailed so it was a nice suprise when i got home.

Will try it out in next few days as i have a house full of sick kids and hubs is on the other side of the world so not a good day to try it Sad though i need it

ProtegeMoi · 02/02/2013 19:48

Mine came today, just waiting for the kids to go bed and me and a friend will be trying it out (plus another 5 bottles) :)

LadyFace · 02/02/2013 21:02

I have the rose. Just had a glass with dinner and I can confirm that I like it! It is sweet but not too sweet and you get a good hint of the peach and strawberry flavours. It does not have that sharpness that you get with some roses, maybe due to the alcohol content.

As the flavours are subtle it would probably compliment a lot of different kinds of food. It is also going nicely with kettle chips right now! I would buy this again. I will report back in the morning to see how I feel after half a bottle!
