THE ART OF ROSÉ PRODUCTION

Contrary to popular belief, Rosé is not created by mixing white wine and red wine, but through the processing of red wine grapes. The key lies in the brief contact (skin contact) of the grape juice with the grape skin, which influences both the color and taste of the wine.
Different production methods shape the character of rosé:
Abpress method: In this process, ripe red wine grapes are immediately pressed, giving the rosé a pale pink color.
Saignée Methode: The harvested grapes rest in a tank for 2 to 24 hours. As the skins burst, the grape juice comes into contact with the skin and turns pink.
Maceration method: Red wine grapes rest in the grape juice before they are separated and the juice is processed into rosé. This gives the rosé a complex flavor.

ROSÉ - ON A JOURNEY THROUGH ORIGIN AND HISTORY

Rosé wines have a long history, told by some of the most renowned wine regions in Italy, France, and South Africa. These regions are known for their fruit-forward and fresh rosés, with South Africa standing out for particularly high-quality variants. The origin of rosé wine is historically found in France, especially in the Tavel region, which is considered one of the best rosé regions in the world. The art of rosé making has developed over centuries in these areas, with today's rosé wines representing a fascinating combination of tradition and modern winemaking.

AROMAS AND FLAVOR WORLD OF ROSÉS

Rosé wines offer a rich bouquet of aromas, ranging from fresh strawberry and cherry notes to subtle spice nuances. The individual character of a rosé is influenced by both the grape variety used and the techniques of maturation. This diversity of aromas and flavor profiles makes rosé an extremely refreshing and multifaceted wine experience that can surprise with both fruity and floral elements as well as an elegant spiciness.
