Rosé & Blush Wine

Rosé and blush wines get their beautiful pink hues from brief contact with red grape skins during fermentation. They bridge the gap between red and white wines, offering the refreshing crispness of a white with the juicy red-fruit flavors of a red. Across this category, the biggest variation you will find is sweetness, ranging from bone-dry, pale pinks to sweeter, deeper-colored blush styles.

To find your perfect style, look at the region and color on the label. Very pale rosés, particularly from Provence in France, tend to be dry, crisp, and mineral-driven. Deeper pinks often signal riper berry flavors and sometimes a touch of sweetness. These versatile wines are perfect for warm sunny afternoons, but they also pair wonderfully with food. Try a dry rosé with grilled seafood, summer salads, or light pasta dishes.
