Welcome to "The Rosé Renaissance"! 🌸🍷 In this episode, we're diving deep into the glorious global ascent of rosé wine, transforming from a seasonal summer drink into a true protagonist in the wine world.

Forget old stigmas! The 21st century has seen rosé emerge as a serious, versatile, and sophisticated wine, challenging long-held prejudices.

Discover its stunning diversity, from the palest, almost translucent onion-skin hues to vibrant, intense cherry pinks. This color spectrum hints at the wine's style, winemaking technique, and grape varieties.

We explore the grapes that craft this liquid art:

• Grenache/Garnacha: The backbone of many Mediterranean rosés, offering fresh red fruits like strawberry and raspberry.

• Pinot Noir: For elegant, delicate rosés with notes of cherry and wild strawberry.

• Syrah: Adding structure, spice, and darker fruit notes.

• Tempranillo: Creating vibrant, fruity "Rosados" from Spain.

• Cinsault: Bringing lightness and freshness.

Learn about the key winemaking techniques that define rosé styles:

• Direct Press (Pressurage Direct): For pale, delicate, and fresh wines, typical of Provence, involving minimal skin contact.

• Saignée (Bleeding): Producing more intense, structured rosés with deeper colors, where a portion of red wine must is drawn off after short maceration.

Journey through the world of rosé styles:

• Provence (France): The iconic birthplace of the modern, pale, dry, and elegant rosé.

• Spain (Rosado): Known for bolder, more structured, and fruit-forward styles, especially from Navarra and Rioja.

• Italy (Rosato): From the intense Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo to the light Bardolino Chiaretto.

• Portugal: Featuring vibrant, diverse rosés from Vinho Verde, Douro, and Alentejo.

• New World (Australia, USA, Chile, Argentina, South Africa): Leading innovation with diverse styles from Pinot Noir, Grenache, Syrah, and Malbec.

Crucially, discover rosé's unrivaled gastronomic versatility. It's the perfect pairing for:

• Fresh salads, seafood, and poultry.

• Mediterranean cuisine (think olive oil and herbs).

• Asian and Mexican dishes (balancing spice and rich flavors).

• Even light barbecues!.

Rosé is not just a "pool wine" but a serious, complex wine for all seasons. Its continuous rise in volume and value attests to its position as one of the most dynamic and prestigious wine categories of the 21st century.
