It all started in 2017 when rock star and Hamptons resident Jon Bon Jovi took his talents on the stage to co-launch a rosé that danced with flavor. In collaboration with Jesse Bongiovi and Gérard Bertrand, he launched Hampton Water Rosé, curated from the perfect blend of grenache, cinsault and mourvèdre grapes. The bottle’s clean packaging matches its flavor, composed of bright red fruit flavors from the finest winemakers of the south of France.
Sip in style with the tasty Wölffer Estate and Zimmermann Edition Summer in a Bottle.
