About the wine: “‘We’ll drink, a drink, a drink – to Lily the pink, the pink, the pink – the saviour of the human race…’ (Thank U Very Much – 1967). Well that’s a big claim for The Floozie, but this rosé will no doubt make for a happier human race – or at least for a few select members who partake of this wine! When the Hamilton family first produced wines in 1837 life was simple and rosé happened by default, as nature sometimes delivered a big red, and in other seasons a light red – almost a rosé. They took what nature offered them and enjoyed it!”
