Rosé questions
What is rosé?
Rosé is wine made from red grapes with only brief contact between the juice and the skins, usually a few hours to a day. That's enough to give the wine its pink color without much tannin. Rosé is then fermented like a white wine. It can be made from almost any red grape, like grenache, cinsault, pinot noir, syrah or sangiovese.
Is rosé sweet or dry?
Most rosé from Europe, especially Provence and the rest of France, Spain and Italy, is dry. Sweeter styles include white zinfandel, some blush wines and a few New World rosés with residual sugar. The color isn't a guide to sweetness. If you want dry rosé, look for Provence, Tavel, or bottles labeled brut or dry.
Should you drink rosé young?
Yes, for most rosé. Its appeal is fresh fruit and crisp acidity, which are best within a year or two of the vintage. A few serious rosés can age longer, especially Bandol, made mostly from mourvèdre, and Tavel from the southern Rhône, which develop savory, complex flavors over several years.
Are darker rosés sweeter?
No. The color of rosé comes from how long the juice stays in contact with the red grape skins and which grape is used, not from sugar. A pale Provence rosé and a deep pink rosé from Tavel or Spain can both be completely dry. Darker rosés tend to be fuller and fruitier, which suits richer food.
