Master REVEALS how to pick DRY ROSÈ at bottle shop!

Author: SESSION in PROGRESS January 23, 2025 Duration: 22:01

Ever found yourself in a bottle shop or staring at a wine list, desperately searching for a dry Rosé? But how do you know which one to pick? Maybe you’ve opted for a French label, convinced by a friend’s mum that it's dry? Perhaps you assume that the darker pink Rosés must be sweet?

It’s time to bring in a Master Sommelier to guide us through buying and enjoying the perfect Rosé.

In this episode, 25-year-old Amelia represents a large group of Rosé enthusiasts who feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of options. She shares her personal experiences and preferences when choosing a bottle, and we discuss how marketing and labelling play a big part in those decisions.

Master Somm Carlos Santos, alongside host Angus O'Loughlin, dives into the nuances of Rosé, exploring everything from colour and flavour to alcohol content and regional differences. Carlos offers expert tips on picking the right Rosé, whether you're enjoying it on a warm summer’s day or pairing it with food.

Key Takeaways:

  • Marketing and bottle design play a major role in wine choices.

  • Alcohol content is a good indicator of Rosé’s sweetness level.
  • Lighter Rosés are typically seen as fresher and more suited to summer drinking.
  • French Rosés are often the most popular choice among consumers.
  • Knowing the region of origin can help you make a better selection.
  • Aged Rosés tend to have more complexity and depth.
  • When choosing Rosé, consider the occasion and potential food pairings.
