Meghan Markle had officially christened a new vintage under her lifestyle brand, As Ever: the 2024 Napa Valley rosé. Launched on July 1, 2025, the Duchess indulged herself with a bottle as she carefully choreographed against a flowery backdrop the Instagram unveilings of her new launch, As Ever crested cork and all. Billed as the liquid equivalent of royal mischief, the wine has been described as possessing soft notes of stone fruit and gentle minerality, a blushing tribute to the more sun-drenched side of duchess living.

The 2023 edition sold out in less than an hour, proving that not even the Firm can rival the pull of a Markle-marked bottle. And with this launch, enthusiasts in the US can be ready to channel their inner Montecito, secure a trio of bottles for their next garden fête, but only if they move as quickly as Markle herself at a royal engagement. UK fans, alas, will have to watch from the sidelines with a sympathetic Earl Grey.
