Have you heard of Alsace rosé?

Although the Alsace wine-making region is essentially famous for its whites, such as Riesling or Gewurztraminer, the terroir also offers some unique rosés – including rosé Crémants. Let us tell you more.

 

How are Alsace rosés crafted?

You might be tempted to think that rosé is made from white and red grapes pressed together, and that this combination then gives the wine its colour. But in fact, as with red wines, rosé is made from black grapes only!

Alsace rosés are made with a single variety: Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir is of course used to craft the varietal wine, with its darker colour; pronounced aromas and robust structure. But it is indeed the same base for both wines.

To produce an Alsace rosé, however, the maceration time must be reduced compared to the requirement for Pinot Noir. The much shorter maceration time for Alsace rosé gives the wine its specific characteristics, making it very different from Pinot Noir

 

Alsace rosé: what is it?

Light and refreshing, Alsace rosé is first and foremost a wine that should be drunk young. Very aromatic, with notes of red fruit, its ideal serving temperature is 8°C. Its fresh and joyful character make it a perfect summer wine, to be enjoyed at a café terrace or shared with friends and family on festive occasions.

Alsace rosé is a natural partner to your appetisers, mixed salads, and even grilled meats.
