General information and interesting facts about rosé wine

FOREWORD TO ROSE WINE

It is often incorrectly assumed that rosé wine is a mixture of white wine and red wine. However, most rosé wines are made from red grapes. The crucial difference lies in the pressing of the grapes: While in red wine the grape skins remain in the grape must for a longer period of time in order to transfer their red color to the wine, in rosé wines they often only remain in the grape must for a few minutes or seconds.

Rosé wine is the perfect choice for a summer celebration or a refreshing refreshment on a hot day. Although it is available all year round, rosé tastes best in summer. That's why we offer wines from all over the world in our online range that are perfect for sunny days. So, why not enjoy a glass of rosé? Order from the comfort of your home and have the wine delivered straight to your door!

ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF ROSE WINE

 The history of rosé wine goes back a long way and is deeply linked to the evolution of wine production. The origins of rosé wine can be traced back to the earliest days of winemaking in ancient times. Ancient records suggest that rosé wine was produced thousands of years ago.

Initially, rosé wine was probably made through a simple process: red grapes were crushed and the juice left with the grape skins for a short time to obtain a subtle color. However, over time, refined techniques and production processes developed, resulting in a wide range of rosé wines.

Rosé wine has become a preferred choice for wine lovers worldwide over the centuries. Today, rosé wines are produced in a variety of styles and flavors, from dry to sweet, from pale pink to bright pink.

The history of rosé wine is characterized by tradition, innovation and the creative art of winemaking. Today, rosé wine is produced and valued by winemakers worldwide and remains an integral part of the wine world.

PRODUCTION OF ROSE WINE

Selecting red and blue grapes is crucial for winemakers to make rosé wine. During pressing, however, the must only remains on the mash for a short time. This means that the grape juice absorbs only a small amount of the color that is present in the fruit peel. As a result, small amounts of tannins, also known as bitter substances, end up in the rosé wine.

Rosé wine is an intermediate form of white and red wine, as red grapes are usually used, but are pressed like white wine. This means that they are usually pressed immediately after destemming and therefore do not undergo mash fermentation, as is the case with red wines.

It is typical for rosé wine to use French red wine varieties. This is because the French were the first to come up with the idea of ​​pressing red grapes immediately after harvest. German rosé wine is also often made from Burgundy varieties. In Italy, on the other hand, you can find many rosé wines that are made from the Sangiovese grape variety.

THE OPTIMAL DRINKING TEMPERATURE FOR YOUR ROSE WINE

The optimal enjoyment of rosé wine is significantly influenced by its temperature. If it is served too cold, its flavors will remain sealed, while if it is too warm, it will lose its freshness and liveliness.

The ideal drinking temperature for a rosé wine is therefore between 10 and 14°C, although this varies depending on the intensity of the wine.
