Rosé

Rosé – Fruity freshness with elegance

Rosé wines combine the best of two worlds: the fruity aromas of red wines and the freshness of white wines. They are produced through short maceration times, which gives them their characteristic salmon to cherry red hue. Depending on the origin and grape variety, notes of strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants or even subtle citrus accents can be detected.

Important rosé styles & regions of origin

• Provence-Rosé (France) – Dry, elegant and delicately spicy with aromas of red berries, peach and garrigue herbs.
• Tavel (France) – Powerful, structured and deeply colored with notes of red fruits and spices, often with a higher alcohol content.
• Côtes du Rhône Rosé (France) – Fruity and spicy, often made from Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, with aromas of raspberries and cherries.
• Rosado (Spain) – More intense and often fuller-bodied than French rosés, often made from Tempranillo or Garnacha with strong fruit aromas.
• Chiaretto (Italy, Bardolino) – Light, fresh and floral with notes of cherry and citrus, perfect for Mediterranean dishes.
• Rosé from Germany & Austria – Usually fruity, elegant and light, often made from Pinot Noir or Zweigelt with a fine acidity.
