Exploring the Global Rosé Wine Scene

In a recent exploration of the globe's finest rosé producers, wine enthusiast Nina Caplan highlights the charm and versatility of these delicately tinted wines. Caplan praises the ability of rosés to complement a variety of dishes, including artichokes and tomatoes, while maintaining their subtle flavors. Notable mentions include Domaine Tempier’s rosé from Provence, which is celebrated for its drinkability, and the luxurious Garrus from Château d’Esclans, crafted from century-old vines and priced at over £100. Caplan also spotlights L’Epiphanie rosé 2023, a delightful blend of grenache and cinsault, and Maxime Magnon’s Métisse from the Languedoc, known for its vibrant raspberry hue. In Tavel, Eric Pfifferling’s Domaine L’Anglore produces a highly sought-after rosé, while Domaine Maby continues to uphold the region's reputation as a historic center for pink wine production. These wines, often blends of various grape varieties, showcase a deeper color than the typical pale rosé, reflecting their robust character. The journey extends beyond France, with Spain's Lalomba producing exceptional single vineyard rosados at high altitudes. Caplan also highlights South Africa's Babylonstoren, known for its mourvèdre rosé, which is so enjoyable it comes with a playful health warning. As Caplan concludes her global tour, she reflects on the diverse and rich offerings of rosé wines, inviting enthusiasts to explore these exquisite selections.
