Top 10 celebrity rosé brands

Drew Barrymore, Carmel Road Rosé (£15)

Launched in 2016, Barrymore’s pink is made from Pinot Noir from Monterey County in California’s Central Coast and offers summery notes of pink lemonade, plums, peaches and cherries. On the palate you’ll find lime, mandarin, grapefruit, bright acidity and a mineral backbone.

The Charlie’s Angels actress describes the wine as “without any sweetness and enough citrus to keep it crisp”. Made by Kris Kato of Carmel Road, Barrymore believes the bone dry pink is a wine designed to “make people happy”.

“I like easy-drinking wines. What I don’t like is when easy-drinking wines are written off as having lack of complexity,” she told Pop Sugar at the time of the launch. Barrymore also makes a Monterey Pinot Noir called Drew’s Blend with Kato, the inaugural vintage of which was given 91-points by Wine Spectator.

She launched her wine company in 2010 and released her first vintage, a 2011 Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie IGT made from grapes grown in the Veneto, Friuli and Alto Adige in northern Italy, in 2012.
