Excellent drinking now, it&#8217;ll develop<br \/>up to three years in the cellar.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t wait, team it with Mediterranean chicken cooked in olive<br \/>oil, white wine, onions, tomato, thyme and basil; sprinkle at the last<br \/>minute with diced kalamata olives and chopped parsley, and serve with<br \/>couscous salad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>(David Ellis&#8217; wine columns are archived on <a href=\"http:\/\/vintnews.com\/\">http:\/\/vintnews.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                              \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>PHOTO CAPTIONS:   A ROS\u00c9 for barbied chops or tempura seafood from<\/p>\n<p>                                    the Riverina&#8217;s Beelgara.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                    ONE for the cellar, or enjoy<br \/>Annie&#8217;s Lane 2007<\/p>\n<p>                                    Chardonnay now with Mediterranean Chicken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROS\u00c9 is one of those great summer-time wines that come to the forewith outdoors entertaining: stick it on the ice and it&#8217;ll go equallyas well with lamb chops or seafood off the barbecue, as it will withchicken or prawn salads.
