The Art of Manufacturing
The production of rosé wine is a real art and requires a delicate touch. It all starts with the grapes: winemakers often choose red wine grapes such as Pinot Noir or Syrah. These are not completely fermented as in a red wine processed, but only briefly brought into contact with the shells. This process, the so-called maceration, provides the delicate color that makes rosé so unmistakable. The longer the maceration time, the stronger and more intense the color becomes. But the color is not everything - the taste also develops through contact with the grape skins.
In the production of rosé, the grape varieties play a crucial role, especially during the mash phase, in which the Weißherbst gets its fine color and structure through gentle contact with the grape skins. Many winemakers rely on the classical maceration or the saignée method. The latter means "bloodletting" and involves drawing off part of the must during the red wine production process. This produces a strong, full-bodied rosé wine that is particularly aromatic. These methods guarantee that only the best of the grapes ends up in your glass.
Rosé wines from the best wine regions: France, Spain and more
The best rosé wines come from the renowned wine-growing regions of southern Europe. France and Spain in particular are known for their rosé wines. In France, Provence is the heart of the rosé art. The wines from this region are known for its lightness, freshness and elegant fruit aromas. A highlight from our range is the “Mas La Roca Rosado”, which delights with aromas of strawberries, raspberries and a subtle citrus note.
Spain, the land of the “Rosado”, produces strong and aromatic rosé wines. Typical for Spanish Rosados are intense fruit aromas that go perfectly with tapas or grilled dishes. The "Lagarto Pintado Fresh Edition Vinho Verde Rosé" from our shop is a prime example of the freshness and effervescence that characterizes Spanish rosé wines.
