It has “delicate aromas of white flowers, peach, apricot and grapefruit” and pairs well with salads, sushi, pasta dishes.

Committed to sustainability, the brand donates 10% of its profits to the restoration and conservation of coral reefs, which represent 25% of marine biodiversity.

“Coral Ethical Rosé is aimed at consumers for whom quality and sustainability are affordable at the same time.
