Details
The south of France makes some of the finest rosé on the planet, and this lovely pink is the perfect example of what makes them great. Light coloured, with crisp edges and a hint of red berries, it's very refreshing and incredibly drinkable.
Origin: The spiritual home of rosé is Provence, in Southern France. Mainly Grown In: Rosé is found all over the world these days, but coastal regions are especially well suited to the growing of red grapes for rosé. Key Facts: Rosé is predominantly made from red grape varieties. The colour in wine is actually from pigments found in the skins of the grapes, so even red grapes have clear-coloured juice. The colour is then ‘bled’ out of the skins by infusing the skins into the juice. So for rosé, the wine simply spends far less time hanging out with the skins! Rarely you will find a rosé that is a combo of white and red grapes – they’re not ‘less good’, just less common. Rosé is super versatile – it suits any occasion. Best to always have a bottle in the fridge, just in case, you know… Wednesday happens or something. Fun Fact: Pale pink rosé has become the queen bee among consumers because it has built a reputation for being the lightest and driest. However, just because a rosé is darker in colour, does not mean it is sweet! And some rosé with more colour also has more character, flavour and is just as refreshing.
