American rosé wines are some of the best in the world. They come from quality, small production vineyards in cool, beautiful places – one sip can transport you to Washington, California or Oregon.
Rosé wine is made from red grapes, the juice of which is left in contact with the skins for a brief period of time, giving the wine its characteristic pink colour. It can be made from any type of red grape, but the most popular types are made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir grapes.
American rose wine from small production vineyards in California, Oregon and Washington is known for its quality. The climate in these cool, beautiful places is ideal for growing the grapes that produce the best rose wines.
Rose wine is typically lighter than red wine, and has a lower alcohol content. It is often described as having flavours of strawberries, raspberries, and other red fruits. Rose wine is perfect for summer days, and can be served chilled or at room temperature.
Rose has become increasingly popular in recent years, and American vineyards are producing some of the finest examples. The vibrant flavour and delicate aromas of American rose wine make it a perfect choice for any occasion.
There is something about a particularly fine rosé that just feels like summer, perhaps the light, crisp flavour or the way it always seems to be paired with sunny days and warm nights. However it can really be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Rose is very versatile and can be enjoyed with a variety of different foods. Pair it with grilled chicken or fish for a light summertime meal, or try it with a hearty stew on a cold winter’s night. It is also lovely with fruit and cheese, making it the perfect choice for an outdoor picnic or an intimate dinner party. Whatever you choose to pair it with, enjoy it chilled.
Our Rosés are all chosen for their rarity, beauty and approachability – and of course their exquisite taste! If you’re not sure what to choose do get in touch and we can help you select something that will really hit the spot.
