What the AI looks for in Rosé Wine
- Vintage
- Buy the most recent vintage and drink it within about a year or two. Most rosé is made for freshness and fades quickly.
- Dry versus sweet
- Provence, Tavel and most European rosés are dry. White Zinfandel and "blush" wines are sweet. The colour doesn't reliably tell you the sweetness.
- Colour versus weight
- Pale rosés are delicate. Deeper rosés (Tavel, saignée-method wines) have more body and suit grilled food. Match the weight of the wine to the food.
Brands that matter
- Château d'Esclans: Whispering Angel; Provence benchmark.
- Miraval: Well-known Provence estate.
- Domaines Ott: Upmarket Provence rosé.
- Mas Fleurey: Côtes de Provence producer known for value.
What to avoid
- Rosé more than two vintages old.
- Buying White Zinfandel when you want a dry rosé.
- Choosing by colour alone.
