Pale Rosé has been driven by Provencal rosé which has gained popularity in recent years which is dry, savoury with light fruits and a clean finish. The pale pink colour would be determined by the grapes used and the amount of skin contact. The base grape chosen for Rosé will have a significant influence over its style. Popular grape varieties for pale Rosé are Sangiovese, Grenache, Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. Rosé is typically a blended wine, made from a variety of different wine grapes.
Dry Rosés have a low sugar content but high in tannins which results in a crisp finish.Tannins contribute to the dryness, astringency and bitterness of a wine. Rosé resembles the flavour profile of light red wine, but with brighter and crisper tasting notes. The fruity undertones and citrus notes are more prominent in dry Rosés. There are different levels of dryness from off dry, semi dry, dry and very dry or bone dry which would determine the spectrum of a dry Rosé. Dry Rosé wine is among the fastest growing wine styles in the world because of its refreshing drinkability and diverse winemaking style.
