Rosé

Rosé wines, characterized by their beautiful pink hue, have experienced a surge in popularity in recent years as a versatile and refreshing choice for wine enthusiasts. Produced by allowing the grape skins to have limited contact with the juice during fermentation, Rosé wines can be made from a wide variety of red grape varieties and are crafted in styles ranging from bone-dry to slightly sweet. While the Provence region of France is synonymous with high-quality Rosé, these wines are produced in various regions across the globe, each offering unique expressions of this delightful style.
