Knowing your way with rose wines

By Mike Peters | China Daily | Updated: 2017-02-10 07:27

The delicate color of rose wines have made them favorites for Valentine's Day dinner pairings.

The pink hue can range from a pale "onion-skin" orange to a vivid near-purple, depending on the grape varietals used and the wine-making techniques. There are several ways to produce rose wine, including skin contact and blending. Wineries that focus on rose production use the skin-contact method: Black-skinned grapes are crushed and the skins are allowed to remain in contact with the juice for a short period, up to three days. Rose wines are made from a wide variety of grapes and can be found all around the globe. They may be still, semi-sparkling or sparkling.

China Daily asked wine consultant Vance Yeang of Global Fine Wines in Shanghai to recommend moderately priced options in different styles - sweet, aromatic dry and dry - for romantic sipping.
