Origin of Rosé Wine and Producing Countries

• France
• Spain

The Finest Gourmet Rosé Wine

The term "gourmet rosé wine" does not refer to a specific type of rosé wine, but rather to high-quality and prestigious rosé wines that are considered more sophisticated and refined options. These gourmet rosé wines often stand out for their careful craftsmanship, selection of quality grapes, and meticulous attention to detail throughout the winemaking process.

Rosé Wine Production Process

The process of making rosé wine involves extracting color from the skins of red grapes for a brief period of time before fermentation turns the must into wine. Unlike red wines, where the skins remain in contact with the must for a longer period, rosé wine is made with a brief skin contact, resulting in a lighter color.

Differences Between Rosé Wines and Other Wines

• Color: The color is the most evident difference. While red wine has an intense red color and white wine is yellow or golden, rosé wine has a pink hue that can vary from pale pink to intense pink.
• Maceration time: In rosé winemaking, the maceration time of the skins with the must is much shorter compared to, for example, red wine, resulting in a lighter color and fewer tannins.
• Fermentation process: The fermentation process of rosé wine is similar to that ofwhite wine, where the must ferments without the grape skins.
• Flavor profile: Rosé wine is typically lighter and fresher compared to red wine. It may have more pronounced acidity and a fruitier and floral aromatic profile.
• Serving temperature: The serving temperature can vary depending on the type of wine, but generally, rosé wine is served colder than others. Rosé wine is best enjoyed at a temperature between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius to highlight its flavors and aromas.

Denominations of Origin (DO) for Rosé Wine in Spain
