Rose Wine
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Rosé wine spans a wide spectrum of styles, with Provence, France serving as the global benchmark for the pale, dry expressions that dominate the category today. Winemakers achieve the characteristic pink hue through brief skin contact with red grapes - primarily Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah - rather than blending red and white wines. Coastal Cotes de Provence producers like Chateau d'Esclans, Domaines Ott, and Chateau Leoube craft wines that lean toward delicate red fruit, citrus zest, and stony minerality. Miraval and Clos Beylesse occupy similar stylistic territory. Turley's White Zinfandel represents an entirely different tradition - a California off-dry style with riper berry character. Within Provence alone, styles range from the widely recognized Whispering Angel to the estate-focused Le Secret de Leoube, a more structured, terroir-driven bottling from the same house.
