COMMENTARY: The 2022 La Verrerie Rosé is rewarding and persistent on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of fragrant spices, dried cherries, and earthy nuances. Try it with Pad Thai and see how wonderful this match could be. (Tasted: May 26, 2024, San Francisco, CA)
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 cooler region precisely between Ventoux and Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, Cotes du Luberon is a source of full-bodied rosés and crisp, herb-driven reds and whites.
