Did you know there are two RHS Chelsea Flower Shows this year? Bonus. Yep, the IRL show has been pushed back to September but because they’ve got so many damn gorgeous blooms they want to show off, they’re running a virtual event from May 17-21. Happy days.
So that’s your horticultural needs sorted. Now, allow us to give you some inspiration on what to drink while you feast on all that fabulous flora. Say hello to Babylonstoren Mourvèdre Rosé. It’s the official rosé of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2021 and get this: it’s about as dreamy a match as you’re going to get. We’ve tried it. It’s delicious.
And you know what? We have a feeling it might be your drink of the summer, too. Because of course, a chilled glass of rosé is a go-to for a lot of us when the sunshine hits, but the exquisite hints of rose petals, raspberries, rhubarb and watermelon here are exactly the kinds of thing we need for high-quality al fresco drinking this year. Thirsty yet?
