Every Wine That’s Pink to Drink

Rosé is hot!

Rosé, a light wine perfect for summer, is made from many different kinds of grapes, comes in every shade of pink and pale orange imaginable, and can range anywhere from sweet to bone dry. In other words, there’s something for every kind of wine drinker. Typically we think of rosé as dry, even when it’s fruity, and we should never mistake rosé for White Zinfandel, which it is not.

If you can’t believe how much you’re hearing about rosé all of a sudden, well, neither can we! We discovered the joy of pink wine while tasting our way through wine country in California in 2014. Back then it was something small-production wineries were tinkering with, not something they were committed to — they weren’t sure American consumers would make the leap from cloyingly sweet White Zinfandel to drier rosé.

Fast forward to today and we're all witnessing an utter explosion of rosé produced in the U.S. and imported, mostly from France. To help you make sense of it all, we’ve assembled this handy guide to everything (wine) that's pink. We've updated this page for 2020, but many retailers are not yet carrying the 2019 releases so stay tuned as we continue to update the guide with the latest releases of our favorite rosés.

Whether you're looking for a rosé subscription or to pick up a few bottles at your local store, we can help point you in the right direction.

What is rosé, anyway?

There are a few primary ways rosé is produced, the first two begin with red grapes being allowed to rest on their skins when they are being pressed. Quick note: red grapes almost always have white flesh, so red wine made from those grapes gets its color from contact with the skin.

Method 1 (Maceration): Here the purpose of the pressing is to make rosé. The grapes rest on their skins for just a short time, then the skins are removed, and the wine is produced with a now light-pink juice (it hasn't fermented yet, so it's still just grape juice). Different rest periods produce different depth of colors.

Method 2 (Saignée): Here the rosé is a second wine made while producing a red wine. The lighter colored juice from the first press is "bled off," collected, and turned into rosé while the rest of the batch continues on to become a now more-intense red wine.

Method 3 (Blending): The third way to make rosé is to blend small amounts of red wine and a signficant portion of white wine (we know you're tempted, but we don't recommend trying this at home unless you have a great bottle of Vermentino and an eyedropper for titrating Cinsault and Grenache into your glass).

As with most things wine, we recommend you check out Wine Folly’s take on Rosé if you want a deeper dive.

How to Drink & Store Rosé

When to Drink: Nearly all rosé is meant to be drunk within 2 years of when it is released. For 2020 that means you should be drinking rosé labeled 2018 and later. While rosé can be consumed any time of year, there seems to be a preference to enjoy it when it’s hot outside. So, our suggestion, if you make it to Labor Day and haven’t depleted your stash, set aside your two favorites (for those random hot days in early Fall) and bring the rest to your Labor Day BBQ.

Storage: You can keep rosé in your regular refrigerator, or any other cool and dark location. Like most light-colored wines, it is recommended you drink rosé when its temperature reaches 45-55 degrees Fahrenheit. Your fridge is typically under 40 degrees, so let the rosé sit out in the bottle for 10-15 minutes to come up to ideal temperature. A fridge-cold wine loses its nuance and complexity because some of the elements which deliver flavor don’t activate until they’re warmer.

Wine Glasses for Rosé: Many people serve rosé in a standard white wine glass. This is totally fine. If you happen to be drinking a Rosé of Pinot Noir and you happen to have tulip glasses, we recommend using those. It’s also fun to drink rosé out of champagne flutes.

If you must go stemless, we suggest something like these glasses which separate your hot hands from your cool wine. We strongly recommend avoiding the following materials: stainless steel, plastic, rubber, and acrylic as they will change the way your wine tastes, and not in a good way.

Insulated Glass Tumblers for Wine

Rosé tastes better when cold, so invest in glasses that help keep it that way longer.

Different kinds of rosé

Today most of the world’s supply of rosé comes from southern France, including Provence (Provençal is the adjective we use to describe things from Provence) and Languedoc-Roussillon; rosé has become popular with winemakers around the world and is made in many different styles these days.

Rosé from Italy is called Rosato and it is made from all kinds of Italian grape varieties. Most commonly Rosato is made with grapes like Montepulciano, Sangiovese, and Barbera, creating fuller wines that might appeal to reluctant-to-try-the-pink-stuff red wine drinkers.

If you live in California or anywhere on the west coast, you also have access to a terrific selection of "domestic" rosé wine. Rosé hailing from California, Oregon, and Washington is now widely available and all of it is a delightful alternative to Sauvignon Blanc. New York is getting in on the rosé game, too, with Long Island and the Finger Lakes regions producing delightful and fresh rosés for the season.

Here is a selection of different rosés, each with a description of what to expect and where to buy some of our favorites.

Rosés of France (mostly Provence and nearby)

The first rosé I had in Provence was from Domaine de Valdition and oh, was it divine. Like Champagne, it could be paired with almost anything, but it complemented our fresh French cheeses and salads perfectly. That example was made from 60% Grenache, 25% Cinsault, and 15% Vermentino (a blend of red and white grapes), but other commonly used grapes for rosé from Provence include: Mourvèdre, Carignan, and sometimes Syrah, Counoise, and Muscardin.

Due to the popularity of rosé, we're starting to see imported French rosé from less well-known regions, too. Don't let that stop you from trying them! There's much to love about rosé and trying different styles is always a fun way to learn more.

Fun fact: Provençal rosé is often sold in unusually-shaped bottles. This is a tradition going back to the 1930s when wineries first started bottling their own wines and wanted to compete with each other on presentation. Today you’ll find a plethora of bottle shapes designed to stand out on the shelf at the store and still fit in your modern refrigerator or wine cellar. We think it’s charming.

Pale salmon-pink in colour, this rose wine is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault, completed by a touch of Syrah and Mourvèdre. There is an unmistakable scent of mint, evoking the herbs that grow wild around the vineyards. Even the nearby sea seems to have left its mark in the appetising, lightly salty finish. This is a very complete rose wine, notable for its harmony, freshness and sheer drinkability.

Rosés from the U.S. — California, Oregon, Washington, and New York

Not to be left out from all the fun, many Rhone-producing wineries in the U.S. have started making their own rosés. Boutique wineries from Paso Robles and Santa Barbara are especially prolific, because hot summer Southern California afternoons go perfectly with fruity, dry rosé made of Pinot Noir (not a Rhone grape, but makes a great rosé), Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and all kinds of blends. We’ve seen rosés of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Zinfandel, too. (Boutique winemakers are creative!)

Not burdened with a century of traditional winemaking rules, U.S. winemakers are free to test the boundaries. You’ll notice a great variety in depth of color, flavor profiles, and preferred grapes as compared to Provence. You’ll also notice a lack of critical ratings on the U.S. rosés — we can only presume this is because most of them are produced in small batches and the caché of U.S. rosé hasn’t caught on yet.

While a great number of excellent west coast wineries have jumped on the rosé bandwagon, some questionable large-scale producers have also jumped in. We’d like to bring your attention to White Girl Rosé, best described as a strawberry/watermelon Jolly Rancher. You can read about sommelier opinions of it at VinePair.

Elouan Rosé of Pinot Noir 2019

Region: Willamette, Umpqua, and Rogue Valleys, Oregon
Grape Varieties: Pinot Noir
Suggested Retail: $20

For our Elouan Rosé, we bring together fruit from three distinct terrains along Oregon’s premiere Western vineyards. The diversity of these cool climate areas combined with an elongated growing season creates wine with intensity of fruit flavor, structure, and a fresh vibrant acidity. This is a bespoke rosé where grapes were grown and harvested with the specific intention of making rosé; and not a saignée rosé, which can be a by-product of making red wine. This wine should be enjoyed very well chilled. It is finished with a screwcap to preserve the crisp, clean aromas and tastes, and is a great choice for outdoor occasions: picnics, lunch on the patio, or enjoyed on its own as an aperitif. — Information provided by Elouan

Belle Glos Oeil de Perdrix Pinot Noir Blanc 2019

Region: Sonoma County, California
Grape Varieties: Pinot Noir
Suggested Retail: $20-25

This is a bespoke rosé in that the Pinot Noir grapes were grown specifically with the intention of making a rosé wine. Pale pink with a copper hue, this wine has a classic “eye of the partridge” color. Citrus-driven aromas carry through to the palate. On entry, bright acidity and flavors of pink grapefruit and lemon zest enliven the orange creamsicle notes, while hints of dried apricot and sweet spice add complexity. The brightness verges on minerality, but there is so much weight that the richness balances out the firm acidity and carries the flavors of dried fruit through the long-lasting finish. — Information provided by Belle Glos

Sanford Rosé of Pinot Noir 2018

Region: Sta. Rita Hills (Central Coast), California
Grape Varieties: Pinot Noir
Suggested Retail: $23-27

91 points, Wine Enthusiast A pleasantly pale shade of pink, this bottling begins with subtle aromas of bubblegum and lemon spray. There is great tension to the palate, where bright lemon peels play against the softer strawberry element. 89 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2018 Rosé of Pinot Noir comes from the Sanford & Benedict and La Rinconada vineyards and was fermented in stainless steel and neural barrels for three months. It has a fresh nose of raspberry leaves, tarragon, watermelon rind and baker's yeast with a core of white peach, apricot and lemon peel. It's light to medium-bodied and citrusy in the mouth with fresh herbs hints, juicy acidity and a refreshing finish. 1,616 cases produced.

The Sanford Rosé is light pink in color with enticing aromas of cranberry, blood orange and rose petal. A blend of fruit from two of Sanford Winery's estate vineyards, La Rinconada and Sanford & Benedict, it's bright and crisp, and is versatile enough to pair with a wide range of foods. — Information provided by Terlato Wines

From a mid-century planting of dry-farmed, head-trained Carignan. A severe diurnal shift supports gradual and often late ripening. The soil is red clay strewn with fist sized rocks. The combination of vine age, extended growing season, and tougher soil conspire to produce a rosé with great freshness and complexity.

Rosé in a Can!

The other day when my hairdresser asked, “Okay, so… wine in a can?!” And I said, “Yes! If it’s good wine!” The truth is, there are many reasons winemakers are turning to cans to present their wares, here are a few.

  1. Cans are very portable. You can take cans of wine all kinds of places you would never bring bottles: the beach/pool, parks (because cops can’t see it’s booze from their car when it’s in a can), concerts (see note about cops), and anywhere a corkscrew may not be handy.
  2. Cans are actually great for wine. As a general rule we want to keep light and air out of our wine until we’re ready to drink it. Aluminum doesn’t let in any light or air. Also, the cans are lined with an epoxy (like all other beverage and food cans) so the aluminum doesn’t interact with the wine.
  3. Cans are lighter weight, so fuel costs associated with shipping are lower (hooray for the environment and the price of the wine).
  4. And... they're a great way to start a conversation about wine!

Some of our favorite places to buy Rosé online

One quick look at wine-searcher.com and you’ll probably notice there are a bazillion places to buy wine online. Many times wine merchants don’t have the wines listed in stock, they order them when you do. Frequently they’ll list low prices on sites like wine-searcher, and then charge you a lot for shipping, eroding the discount value.

So, we’re sharing with you some of our favorite places to buy rosé online, and why you want to shop at those stores. Also, we’ve sprinkled in some cool deals on rosé to keep you well-informed. Happy shopping!

Quick notes: when buying wine online, don't forget to verify the store can send wine to your state (we have complex shipping laws regarding alcohol in the U.S.). Also, an adult 21-years or older must sign for all alcohol deliveries, so we recommend shipping to your workplace if possible. If not, try the FedEx Delivery Manager and UPS MyChoice services to manage your deliveries.

Rosé at Vivino

Vivino is a wine marketplace, kind of like Amazon for wine (because you can't buy wine on Amazon anymore!). They have their own deals and different sellers around the country list their wines on Vivino, too. It's a great way to shop for wine because they have a large, active wine drinking-community that rates their wine. It's not snobbly like Cellar Tracker, but you get the whole "wisdom of the crowds" benefit. If you can't find rosé to love among their — at last check — 27450 rosé wines under $500... well, you're not trying very hard? That number seem ridiculous? No worries, they give you LOTS of tools to narrow your selection. We recommend these two: 47 rosés rated above 4.5 stars and 114 rosés under $15 rated at least 4 stars.

Check out the selection of rosé at Wine.com.

Rosé at Wired For Wine®

Wired For Wine® is terrific place to get wine at a good price. They offer an interesting, well-curated selection of wine from around the world, all priced below retail. Buy any six bottles and get free shipping. Buy something you didn’t like? They’ll take care of you (either a refund or an exchange).

Wired For Wine® is located in New Jersey and cannot ship outside the U.S. To verify they can ship to your location within the U.S., check the shipping destination options at checkout.

Rosé at Wine.com

At last check Wine.com stocked 434 different rosé wines from around the world and in every price range. As the leading online retailer of wine, there are perks to buying from Wine.com, namely selection. They have a Wine Stewardship program for $49 a year (kind of like Amazon Prime) which gets you free shipping on every order. Given that a case of wine costs anywhere from $20-60 to ship, even occasional orders will save you money.

Check out the selection of rosé at Wine.com.

Rosé at Wine Library

Gary Vaynerchuk's original online wine store is still a perennial favorite place to shop. At last check you could find 150+ rosés to choose from, including many values under $10 and a range of premium rosé, too. This is maybe the biggest selection of rosé we've seen available to buy online and you're sure to find some great options.

Rosé Wine Delivery Services

Apparently there's an epidemic of "I want my booze now!" out there because same-day wine delivery services are starting to crop up all over the place! Here are ones worth noting:

  1. Drizly: The largest same-day delivery service with most major U.S. cities covered and even a couple in Canada. They rely on "local" wine/liquor stores who run their own delivery services (not UPS, etc.) to list their products and prices, and then fulfill orders. We're pretty impressed with what's available to us in California via Hi-Time Cellars, but you may not get as many options in your local delivery area. Save $5 on your first order with coupon DRIZLYDEAL
  2. Saucey: 30-minute alcohol delivery to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego, & Sacramento. Their rosé section includes several mentioned on this page! Get free delivery + save on your first order. $5 off your first order with promo code SAS.
