Rosé Wine

Filter

Rosé wine is celebrated for its charming pink hue and refreshing taste, created by fermenting grape juice with limited contact with grape skins. This gives it a unique color and flavor profile that sits between red and white wine.

The color of rosé can vary widely, from very pale pink to deeper salmon and coral shades. Color is influenced by grape variety, the length of skin contact, and the winemaking method.

Among the major rosé producing regions are: France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, United States and Australia

Rosé wine styles

Dry Rosé: Characterized by its crisp acidity and lack of sweetness, dry rosé is refreshing and food-friendly.

How Style Affects Flavor:
