Wine Style Guide
Sparkling Wine
From pale and delicate to vibrant, savoury and gastronomic.
Understanding the style
Rosé wine is made primarily from red grapes with limited skin contact, creating wines that combine red-fruit character with the freshness and relatively low tannin associated with white wine. Styles range from very pale, dry and mineral to deeper, fruitier and more structured expressions, making rosé one of the most versatile wine categories at the table.

Explore the spectrum
Key Wine Styles
Rosé is far more diverse than its colour suggests. Grape variety, climate and skin-contact time determine whether a wine is pale and mineral, bright and fruit-driven, savoury and herbal, or fuller and more gastronomic.
Fresh & Fruity
Bright, approachable rosés showing strawberry, raspberry, watermelon and citrus with lively acidity.
Examples
Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Grenache
Herbal & Savoury
Mediterranean rosés with red fruit, herbs, spice and a more restrained, food-friendly profile.
Examples
Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah
Fuller & Gastronomic
Deeper-coloured, more structured rosés with greater body, texture and savoury complexity.
Examples
Tavel-style blends, Primitivo, Montepulciano
Sparkling Rosé
Rosé with bubbles, combining fresh red-fruit character with additional texture and lift.
Examples
Pinot Noir-based sparkling rosé, traditional-method rosé

What Defines Sparkling Wine
Rosé is defined by controlled extraction from red grape skins. The length and technique of skin contact influence colour, flavour and structure, creating wines that range from barely pink and delicate to vibrant, savoury and food-focused.
