Orange wines and chilled reds continue to challenge rosé for a spot in the summer lineup, but we can’t deny that the incumbent warm-weather wine continues to draw our attention with its ever-expanding range of styles. While the pale pink bottles from Provence that originally sparked the rosé frenzy remain wildly popular, there are wines from around the world that offer something new and exciting for curious drinkers, from juicy co-ferments to savory, barrel-aged examples. Per our annual tradition, VinePair’s tasting panel sorted through and tasted hundreds of rosés to find the best of the best.
Maison Saint Aix is perched in the vineyards of a 140-year-old domaine at one of the highest elevations in Provence. This sleek wine is a quintessential example of the Provençal style, made with 60 percent Grenache, 20 percent Syrah, and 20 percent Cinsault. It offers notes of both juicy, acidic grapefruit juice as well as bitter grapefruit pith and a chalky minerality.
