Queen has gotten into the wine business.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have just debuted the new Queen Côtes de Provence Rosé, with wine lover Roger Taylor taking a hands-on role in its creation.
According to the website's description, the rosé "captures the pure essence of Provence with a rhapsody of wild strawberry and ripe red berry aromas," noting its "beautifully balanced texture harmonises ripe, supple fruit with fresh citrus acidity giving a silky creaminess to the mid palate," which is "an unmistakable sign of a great rosé."
“I’ve spent a lot of time around wine over the years and I wanted to create something that felt consistent, expressive and genuinely enjoyable in partnership with good friends,” says Taylor. “It needed to have that sense of joy to it – something that brings people together.”
He adds, “This isn’t about putting a name on a bottle; it’s about creating something with integrity.”
As for why he chose rosé, in a post on Instagram Taylor explains, "For me, rosé has always been about joy - that moment of elation when you raise a glass with people you love. I wanted to create a wine that carries that same feeling."
Queen Côtes de Provence Rosé is currently only available for those in the U.K. More information can be found on the wine's website, queenwinesofficial.com.
