Hello,
In the first instance, rosé, or pink, wine offers all the bright, refreshing, crunchy characteristics of a un-oaked white wine, plus some of the rich berry fruit flavours of red wine. They are ideal for summer drinking, with summer and forest fruit berry flavours, yet without the grippy tannins that are typical in most reds. But they also have a year-round appeal that we have finally cottoned-on to. As an aside, there are some reds that suit chilling well, but chilling tannic wines accentuates the tannins, so for cool, tasty wine, pink can be a great unifying factor. Along with the growth of pink production has come great stylistic diversity. Style varies from the medium-dry/medium-sweet white grenaches and zinfandels from the USA, and many wines from all over the world labelled ‘blush’, to bone dry, serious aperitifs or even food-demanding styles, often from parts of France such as Provence in the south and Tavel in the Rhône valley. Everything exists in between these two extremes.
Thanks
