Rose Wine

Rosé wine is a delightful and versatile style of wine known for its captivating pink color, refreshing taste, and widespread popularity. Unlike red wines that are made from dark grapes with prolonged skin contact, rosé wines are produced by allowing the grape skins to briefly macerate with the juice, resulting in a spectrum of pink hues and a wide range of flavors, from fruity and floral to crisp and savory.

History

The history of rosé wine production dates back to ancient times, with evidence of pink wines being enjoyed by civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans. These early rosés were typically lighter in style, often made by blending red and white wines. The popularity of rosé surged in the 20th and 21st centuries as winemakers began to focus on crafting high-quality rosé wines from specific grape varieties, such as Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre in Provence, France. Provence, in particular, is renowned for its dry and pale-pink rosé wines that have set the standard for the style. Today, rosé has evolved from its historical blends to become a diverse category with a spectrum of hues and flavors, catering to a wide range of palates.
