Winemaker Notes

Using a blend of Cinsault and Syrah from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, the grapes to craft this rosé are harvested at night and pressed almost directly after while the fruit is still fresh. Sugar Momma Rosé gives aromas of fresh red berries with a lively and well-balanced taste. Only the best juices are selected by our winemakers to ensure the best possible quality of wine. The Languedoc-Roussillon region is famous for its diversity of terroirs, and, therefore its diversity of excellent wines.

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.

Offering the perfect balance of quality and value, Southwest, France is a recognized appellation that encompasses all wine regions in France’s southwestern corner (except for Bordeaux and Cognac, which merit their very own). Two of the more famous subregions here are Cahors, known for its Malbec, and Madiran, home of the robust Tannat grape. Bordeaux Blends are also popular red wines of the Southwest; Petit Manseng is the regions’s star autochthonous white variety.
