This beautiful rose wine is made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, fruit driven, refreshing with abundance of berry flavours and a pleasant long finish.

1) Pre-heat the oven to 200/400 gas 6, and have 1 large or 2 smaller non stick trays ready.
2) Add the flour and sugar to a large bowl and add the diced butter, rub in until you have fine breadcrumbs.
3) Beat the egg, milk and vanilla in a small bowl and add to the dry ingredients to make dough.
4) When the dough is ready, flour a surface lightly and divide into 16 equal balls. When all have been rolls, slightly flatten and using your thumb or knuckle make a small impression in the centre of each.
5) Using a small spoon top the well with jam and bake in the centre of the oven for 10 minutes. Turn then oven down to gas mark 4 and bake for another 5 minutes until golden.
6) Once removed from the oven, sprinkle with a little sugar and allow to cool on a wire wrack.
Chef's Tips
For a great twist, try adding lemon zest to the the mix and use lemon curd rather than jam.
