There's great praise for this delightful pink from the rolling, verdant hillsides of Kent. In fact it's the highest-scoring rosé in England! Critic Matthew Jukes described it as "the most delicate and tender English rosés I have tasted. I love the bottle shape and design, too". Starting out in 2019, Folc is the creation of two city professionals Elisha Rai and Tom Cannon.
Holding the importance of family, friends and community at its heart, it blossomed through the start of lockdown life, producing its terrific rosé in small batches, all done locally. The grapes are sourced from small family growers, experts in their field, as is the winery in Canterbury. Chill and enjoy the delicate sunshine fruit and freshness solo or with lighter dishes.

Martinborough may be less high profile than other Kiwi wine regions (it's only small) but the quality of its cool climate wines is second to none. It lies in the southern corner of North Island and is renowned for Pinot Noir. A government report in 1979 had highlighted that the conditions of the region were remarkably similar to Burgundy – free-draining gravel soils, with moderate temperatures and rainfall. Jeremy Corban and Katherine Jacobs founded their beautiful family estate in 2005, after a wine stint in France.
They chose a site in Martinborough's Te Muna valley and planted Pinot Noir. This is their gloriously fragrant, expressive flagship wine. Aged in new oak, it has a lovely balance of ripe fruit, spice and savouriness. Open early.
