Q:WhatistheRoséRevolution? A: The Rosé Revolution is a celebration of pale, dry and delicious Rosé wines that are being produced by wineries all over the world.
These are serious Rosés for grown ups, but not to be taken seriously! They can be made from savoury, earthy varietals like Pinot Noir, Grenache, Mouvédre and Syrah, even Sangiovese and Nebbiolo but what they share in common is that they are interesting and appetising.
These wines are delicious, a great match with food and a great wine to consider over summer. So grab your favourite bottle of Rosé, or a few for that matter and enjoy! Vive la Rosé!
