COMMENTARY: The 2019 Art of Earth Organic Rosé is bright and easy on the palate. Enjoy its ripe red fruit flavors and medium sweet finish with grilled peaches, young cheeses, and arugula. (Tasted: September 7, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
The range compiles of selected organic wines from all over the world – a Pinot Grigio, Prosecco and Montepulciano from Italy, a German Riesling, a Spanish Tempranillo and a French Rosé. All are unique in their own right - pieces of art, extracted from the earth in which the vines grow, which explains the name Art of Earth.
Keeping it natural in the vineyard and the cellar extracts the best from nature in a respectful, sustainable way. But, that’s not where the story ends – even the packaging is eco-friendly. The light-weight glass bottle with screw cap is recyclable and cork tree-friendly.
Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.
A small category representing the wines that either fall outside of appellation lines or don’t subscribe to the law and traditions set forth by the French government within certain classified appellations, “Vin De France” is a catch-all that includes some of the most basic French wines as well as those of superior quality. The category includes large production, value-driven wines. It also includes some that were made with a great deal of creativity, diligence and talent by those who desire to make wine outside of governmental restrictions. These used to be called Vin de Table (table wine) but were renamed to compete with other European countries' wines of similar quality.
