Fresh, fruity, crisp, and dry, Provence rosé is the shining star of the pink-hued wines. And while it still reigns supreme, we’ve entered an era where there are thrilling, world-class rosés to sip from around the globe, from breezy Long Island to the slopes of Abruzzo. From the Hamptons to the South of France, these are the top-rated rosés you should have on your radar, courtesy of our Tasting Department.
Rosés from the Rhône Valley run the gamut from intensely pink and concentrated in flavor to delicate and fruity. Expect juicy bottles bursting with watermelon flavor from sunny, seaside Costières de Nîmes, as well as zestier wines with sour cherry and raspberry flavors from the steep vines in high-altitude Ventoux or Luberon. The Chateau d’Aqueria Tavel 2024 is sultry in every sense of the word. Lovely, bready aromas of strawberry-rhubarb tart charm the nose accompanied by rosehip and a smattering of bruised red cherry blossom. The palate is fulsome with a restrained, well-integrated fruit core that draws you in and persuades another glass.
