We asked our friend Molly, winemaker for Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery, to give us the lowdown on one of our favorite wines, Rosé! Read all about how rosé is made, what makes it different from other wines, and what food plays well with this pink beauty.
Rosé is one of my favorite wines to make and to drink. The recent popularity of Rosé has changed how and when we drink rosé and has catapulted this category into a year-round favorite.
Unfortunately, Rosé had a bad rep due to the sweet Lancers and white Zinfandels of yester-year. Today we’re fortunate to be part of a paradigm shift which has pushed wineries to produce high-quality dry Rosé, which has brought you (wine consumers) a wide array of delicious, dry (not sweet) wines that rival many old-world favorites, all at a price point that won’t break the bank. The popularity of this wine has attracted many superstars to jump on board and create Rosé-focused wine brands. You can find Rose’s from Brangelina, Post Malone, Mary J. Blige, and even Bon Jovi (to name a few).
