What Is Rosé?
Rosé is a wine that gets its pink colour from brief contact with grape skins during the winemaking process. Made primarily from red grape varieties, Rosé can range from light and delicate to more robust and complex, depending on the style and grape varieties used. Rosé can be dry or sweet, still or sparkling, and is known for its fresh, fruity flavours and bright acidity.
Rosé Wine and Health Benefits
Moderate consumption of Rosé can offer certain health benefits, as it contains antioxidants like polyphenols that may support heart health. Additionally, Rosé generally has fewer calories compared to some heavier red wines, making it a lighter option for enjoying wine in a balanced way. Always remember to enjoy responsibly.
How Rosé Is Made: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Harvesting: Grapes for Rosé are usually picked at a balance of acidity and sweetness to ensure the wine remains fresh.
- Crushing & Maceration: The grapes are gently crushed, and the juice is allowed to remain in contact with the skins for a short time (from a few hours to a couple of days) to give Rosé its pink colour.
- Fermentation: After achieving the desired colour, the grape skins are removed, and the juice is fermented, often at cooler temperatures to preserve its fresh fruit flavours.
- Aging: Most Rosé wines are not aged in oak, as the goal is to keep the wine’s fresh character. Some may be aged briefly in neutral containers like stainless steel.
- Bottling: After fermentation and optional aging, the wine is filtered and bottled, ready for enjoyment.
Types of Rosé Wine at Barrel & Batch
- Dry Rosé: Crisp and refreshing, with flavours of red berries and citrus. Dry Rosés, like the Maison Saint AIX Dry Rosé, are ideal for those who prefer a clean finish.
- Sweet Rosé: These Rosés are fruit-forward with flavours like strawberry and peach, great for casual sipping or pairing with light desserts.
- Sparkling Rosé: This combines the fresh flavours of Rosé with effervescent bubbles, perfect for celebrations, with options like Gancia Rosé Brut NV.
- Provence Rosé: Known for their pale colour and delicate flavours, these wines typically offer notes of red fruit and citrus, such as the Chateau d'Esclans Whispering Angel Rosé.
Rosé vs. Other Wines: What Makes It Unique?
Rosé stands out among wines for its unique characteristics:
Production Style
Unlike red wine, which ferments with the skins for an extended period, Rosé has only brief contact with the skins, giving it its pink hue without the tannins of red wine.
Flavour Profile
Rosé typically offers fresh, bright flavours with notes of red berries and citrus. It’s less complex than red wine but offers more body than white wine, making it a versatile choice.
