SJP Rosé Launched in Ireland This Summer

Award winning actor, producer, designer and entrepreneur, Sarah Jessica Parker is adding a new Rosé wine to her collection of wines with New Zealand-based winery Invivo & Co and it will be available this June 2020 just in time for summer sipping.

This premium Rosé – Invivo X, Sarah Jessica Parker Rosé – comes from the South of France and has been crafted in partnership with Sarah Jessica Parker, the founders of Invivo and a family winery in Provence.

“Blending the Rosé was an experience I never thought I would be participating in and was not only great fun but, as always with my partners at Invivo, informative, surprising, delicious and wonderfully satisfying. I am so looking forward to adding it to our collection of wines.”  X, Sarah Jessica Parker

The Rosé comes hot on the heels of Invivo X, SJP Sauvignon Blanc, SJP’s first wine collab and one of 2019’s most successful global wine launches.

The final Rosé blend was selected by SJP and Invivo over an afternoon of tasting and assessing in New York City and the result is a new Rosé that can be taken very seriously, but is also very seriously fun.

As Invivo’s winemaker Rob Cameron describes it, “Invivo X, SJP Rosé is a gorgeous shade of blush pink in your glass, which is what will initially draw you in, but it’s the taste that will bring you back for more. The aroma profile invokes clear rose petals and bright summer berry characters, wrapped in a minerality that makes this wine exceptionally fresh. SJP Rosé is full bodied with great complexity and elegance, delicious on its own or with a range of cuisine.”

The grapes come from a vineyard in Provence on a family winery “Vins Chevron Villette” located in the famous ‘Golden Triangle’, situated in Saint Tropez, inland between Puget‐Ville, Les Arcs and Le Thoronet Abbey, which was built in the late twelfth and early thirteenth century. The Invivo X, SJP Rosé is all about expressing the very best of these Provence vineyards that Invivo notoriously sources from. With cutting‐edge technology and a ton of winemaking experience, the vineyard also strives to be eco-friendly by running the winery almost entirely on solar energy.

The critics at Wine Orbit in New Zealand have already given Invivo X, SJP Rosé 94 points and 5 stars, saying “This is instantly appealing on the nose showing grapefruit, crunchy apple and nectarine characters with a hint of sweet raspberry. The palate delivers terrific fruit intensity and vibrancy, combined with fine texture and bright acidity, finishing delightfully long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2022.”

Barry & Fitzwilliam are proud to be the exclusive distributor for Sarah Jessica Parker Wines in Ireland. The Sauvignon Blanc was a fantastic success and we have no doubt the Provence style Rosé will be another great success- there is a renewed interest in Rosé wines among the Irish consumer especially in the Provence style.
