I promised a post about Rainbows, so here it is my friends. A little later than planned perhaps, but I wanted to make sure that I did this bottle justice. 

I first sampled Rainbow Juice during a Wine crawl for my 30th birthday. Our path had led us to Bunch, an excellent wine bar in Liverpool that specialises in natural wines. If you find yourself in my neck of the woods when all of this is over, promise me that you’ll pay the guys there a visit. They have a brilliant selection of wines by the glass and the bottle - plus they do takeout! 

Let me tell you a bit about this incredible wine. Made by Gentle Folk, it comes from the Adelaide Hills, Australia and it has a pretty special make up. Rainbow Juice is a blend of every kind of grape grown by Gentle Folk, I believe in this vintage that is 22 grape varieties! Strictly speaking, we can’t describe it as red, white or rose, we have to simply accept that this is totally unique and get on board! Part of Gentle Folk’s philosophy is that they don’t interfere with the wine, preferring to let it do its’ own thing, and this really shows. It’s super easy to drink and presents loads of beautiful fruit flavours. It’s big on strawberry, peach and maraschino cherry but perfectly balanced with an acidity that makes it a great sipper. Can we talk about that amazing intense colour too, please? 

We ended up with Rainbow Juice completely by accident, the girls had pre-picked what we were going to drink all day, but their first pick for Bunch wasn’t available. We were recommended this as an alternative, and honestly, I don’t think plan A could have served us any better. This wine is an absolute delight to drink. Sampled on a hot, sunny day you can’t ask for anything more. It’s crisp, light and super refreshing, especially paired with a cheeseboard and great conversation!

I’ll be back soon with some isolation wine reccs, but for now, I hope you and yours are well.
