Rosé & Blush wines are characterized by their pink hue, which is achieved through limited skin contact with red grape varieties during fermentation. These wines can be further categorized into Rosé Sparkling Wine, made from grapes like Pinot Noir and Grenache, and Blush Sparkling Wine, typically produced from Zinfandel and Merlot. Both styles offer a refreshing alternative to traditional white or red wines, appealing to those who enjoy a balance of fruitiness and acidity.
Rosé Sparkling Wines often feature flavor notes of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, complemented by citrus zest and floral hints. They can range in sweetness from Brut Nature to Demi-Sec, making them versatile for various occasions. In contrast, Blush Sparkling Wines tend to lean towards off-dry or semi-sweet profiles with flavors of watermelon and peach. Both types pair beautifully with a variety of dishes; Rosé complements seafood and light salads while Blush enhances spicy Asian cuisine or barbecue fare.
