Best Rosé Without Food

Pink Rosés are not the first thing many enthusiasts think of when shopping for a bottle of wine, and many sommeliers believe that high-quality bottles of Rosé are some of the best-kept secrets in the world of wine. These light and refreshing pink wines are great by themselves without food.

Rosé wines are naturally low in tannin, as there is only limited skin contact allowed during the wine-making process. This means that drinking Rosé will not dry out the palette, making it easier to keep enjoying sip after sip!

There are a variety of different styles of Rosé, and sweetness levels can range all the way from bone dry to lusciously sweet. There are many different grapes that can be used to make these pink wines, including Grenache, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, and Syrah.

Sweet Rosés are great for drinking after a meal and are often used as dessert wines. They are usually made using Merlot, Zinfandel, and Moscato grapes which give them a full body and rich sweetness. Sweet Rosés are usually low in acidity, making them great for new wine drinkers.

On the opposite end of the sweetness spectrum, the driest representations of Rosé are crisp and acidic, making them a fantastic option for outdoor parties and summertime enjoyment. Many wine enthusiasts look at dry Rosé as the ultimate warm weather wine without food.

The tasting notes present in Rosés are usually described as fruity, with red fruit like strawberries, cherries, and cranberry often described on the front of the palate. Citrus and melon are also commonly present, making these wines plenty complex by themselves.

Whispering Angel Rosé is one of the top-selling pink wines in the world, and it is also produced in the iconic Provence region. This dry Rosé has developed a reputation for supreme drinkability and superior value compared to many more expensive bottles from the same region.
