The Many Shades of Rosé Wine

Lately, we've been witnessing the rise of rosé wine and it seems like its reputation can only go upwards from here. Yes, it is true that it was high time for things to get more pinky and delightful for this pink delight and it seems like every winery nowadays is striving towards the  their own rosé wine and make it popular. When we think about pink wine, the first image that comes to mind is wine with pale color, however, this is not even half the true image about it.



The shades range from very pale to nearly red, and all beautiful hues in between. Don't limit yourself to what you've previously had in perception to be rosé wine (only the pale pinky tones) because this way you're also making it impossible for you to get to know a myriad of new tastes and aromas, and you can find some of them depicted below:

In their base, Provence rosés are made from Grenache grapes, but they are usually blended with Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The taste you should expect is an intriguing mixture of grapefruit, watermelon, fresh herbs and berries. Provence wines are the driest rosé wines in the world and they are much preferred by wine lovers that love to add a bit of bitterness to the sweet.

Speaking of just slightly darker shade of rose, Pinot Noir rosé is somewhat similar to Provence rosé since it comprises melon and strawberries, but it doesn't have that flowery feel about it.

For those who are looking for a spicy pink wine, Tempranillo rosés are the best and most refreshing  choice out there. Some say that its taste can be described as floral with the added spark of telltale green pepper.

On the other hand, the White Zinfandel brings the sweetest combination of pineapple and banana, a great accompaniment to pasta and vegetable-based dishes. Apart from being very tasty, this wine is also very affordable, therefore anyone with the slightest desire to explore pink wines should try it.



Next on line is the White Merlot pink wine that is in a certain way similar to White Zinfandel when it comes to taste and the taste and the way it is produced. It's almost completely on the sweet side and it can be paired with dishes that need that sweetness to contrast their sourness or acidity.

Sangiovese rosé is a very fun and lively mixture of pink and orange. It is conveniently stuck in between  bold dryness and mild sweetness. What you should expect to taste is a wonderful combination of honeydew, raspberries and cranberries.

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are present in the production of pink wine all over the world. This type of wine comprises a texture somewhat darker that the Tempranillo and the Sangiovese. It should be paired with light sea food or some vegetable dishes.

Syrah rosé is a representative of the darker pinks, it's color coming close to red. Its aroma is very rich, a fine mixture of dried cherries, plums, blueberries and a hint of spice and smoke.

Montepulciano rosé has a very dark pink-some hue and brings a very sophisticated taste, evoking the aromas of cinnamon, dry fruit and fresh orange.
