20 Mar Please The Palate Pick of the Week: Roseade Rosé Lemonade
Canned drinks are all the rage these days. There is hard seltzer, canned wine, and Ready to Drink cocktails (RTDs). And now there is Roseade Rosé Lemonade! It’s refreshing, fun, unpretentious, tasty, and it’s the Please The Palate pick of the week! Roseade was born in Australia. Winemaker Lee Smallman of Chirping Bird Winery in Moorooduc, Victoria, Australia, found himself with too much Rosé in 2018. He had 300 cases of overstock and had the option to dump it or blend it. But, after seeing a long line to taste a local sangria at the farmer’s market, he thought he could do better and started experimenting with his Rosé. He experimented with different flavors and lemonade seemed to be the perfect match. A little carbonation made it a spritz and he put it in a bottle. It was delicious and refreshing and an immediate hit. Lee found Karl Ziegler and Victora Ash, wine importers in Southern California, on Instagram and introduced them to Roseade. Karl and Victoria loved it and brought it to America. However, to keep the cost down on Roseade, they found that the bottles were too expensive. They looked into other options and selected cans. Cans are individual, they are portable, they are environmentally friendly, and they keep costs down.Discover more from Please The Palate
