There’s nothing more awkward than bringing a bottle of wine to a picnic. The glass is heavy and cumbersome, and no matter how discreetly you try to wrap it, that inevitable clinking sound as you walk is always a dead giveaway. Then there’s the fumbling with the bottle opener – providing that you actually remembered to bring it this time.

It’s always a dilemma to choose between the wine that we love or the convenience of canned drinks. Luckily, it’s 2020 and the good folks at Stel + Mar have invented a solution to all of our wine-related problems: really delicious, premium wine in a can and boxed wine.

Now, before you get any ideas, this is NOT the cheap boxed wine from your undergrad days – Stel + Mar takes premium California rosé and puts it into a 500ml resealable tetra pak. It’s quality and flavour, meets convenience and ease. Lighter, more portable and less breakable than a bottle of wine, Stel + Mar will be your best backyard buddy, picnic pal or cottage companion.

A beautiful blend of Syrah and Grenache, Stel + Mar Premium California Rosé opens with bouquet of fresh strawberries and watermelon on the nose. On the palate, you’ll taste the juicy flavours of red berries, melon and apricot. Each sip is crisp and refreshing with just the right amount of acidity. It pairs perfectly with summer salads, grilled fish and a lakeside view.

Stel + Mar Premium California Rosé comes in a six-pack of 500ml tetra paks, totalling three litres. You’ll also find their Premium Red Wine and Premium White Wine in cans.
