Provence, the Mediterranean hill country in southern France, is still “king of rosé,” said Joe Czerwinski in Wine Enthusiast. More than 80 percent of the wine produced here is rosé, with vintners using different blends of red grapes to create wines in a variety of shades, from pale pink to darker-hued.
Provençal wineries are also using new techniques and equipment to create fresher and lighter wines. These new rosés are “versatile at the table,” and can be served either as apéritifs or partnered with fish or meat. Three exceptional Provençal rosés:
