Launch of ‘Rosé Wine Trail’ across the capital

A ‘Rosé Wine Trail’ has been launched in Edinburgh, as part of a summer-long campaign to celebrate the popular pink tipple. 

From now until the end of September, three of the city’s bars and restaurants are teaming up to showcase a selection of rosé wine from France, Italy and the US.

As people’s tastes turn to lighter, fruitier and more refreshing summer-drink options, The Huxley on Rutland Street, Copper Blossom on George Street and McLarens on the Corner in Morningside have created a new rosé-wine menu and rosé-inspired cocktails. 

A Rosé Trail passport is also available for rosé-wine lovers to collect stamps at each venue, providing the chance to win a break for two in Provence. 

The Huxley is showcasing Château Routas rosé from Provence; Copper Blossom will be popping its cork for Italy’s Della Vite sparkling rosé, created by the Delevigne sisters, Poppy, Chloe and Cara; and McLarens on the Corner will feature Côtes de Provence rosé, M by Minuty. McLarens is also staging a special rosé-wine dinner event on 26 June. 

McLarens, The Huxley and Copper Blossom are part of the Edinburgh-based Signature Group, a Scottish hospitality firm with over 20 bars, restaurants, hotels and a brewery. 

Signature Group’s head sommelier, Dawid Assi, is leading the launch of the Rosé Wine Trail. Dawid has more than 11 years’ experience in the hospitality industry and has a level-2 award from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. He said:

 “With the launch of our first Rosé Wine Trail across the city, people can really paint the town ‘pink’ this summer.

 “We wanted to curate a lighter, cleaner and fresher wine menu that will help celebrate rosé wine from around the world.”

He added: “We’re confident that our Rosé Wine Trail menu will tickle the tastebuds of both seasoned rosé enthusiasts and people sampling it for the first time.”
