Rose wine isn’t just for ladies that lunch anymore, it has quite rightly risen in popularity recently due to its diversity. Corks Out has a unique range of Rose wines from Italian Blush to French Pomerol.
From dry and light to sweet and fruity wines, you are certain to find a real gem of a rosé that perfectly matches your wine preferences.
Different rosé wine styles
Rosé wine is typically made from black-skinned grapes, where the juice is kept in contact with the skins for less time than it is for red wine. Rosé can also be made by blending the top of a red wine with white wine.
The characteristics of rosé wine tend to depend on the blended grapes, the growing region and the production method used. Common rosé wine styles include:
- Provencal: French regions such as Provence, Rhone Valley and Loire Valley are famous for creating traditional dry rosé wine such as the Dom Ott Romassan Rose Bandol and the Dom Ott Clos Mireille. Typically made from Grenache and Cinsault grapes, they contain aromas of red berries accompanied by a touch of citrus fruits.
- Spanish and Italian: Rosé wine from Spain is bigger and bolder than the French styles, containing Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes which give the wine a more up-front fruit flavour. While Italian wine is synonymous with being full bodied and red, the country also produces rosé that is delicate and dry, with just the right level of mouth-watering acidity.
- USA: Merlot, Zinfandel and Cabernet are typically used by US wine producers, who are known to produce rosé wine that is deliciously dry and fruity, with just a touch of sweetness; a far cry from the incredibly sugary white zinfandels that were once synonymous with California.
Rosé wine is also produced in other countries such as South America, Germany as well as Australia.
