Have you discovered a rosé wine that’s divine? Or, do you still wonder what all the fuss is about?

 

Rosés continue to be a trendy favorite among wine consumers - women and men. There’s even a special term coined for the male segment of the population who enjoy rosé wines – brosé. 

 

Rosés derive their beautiful color from the process in which they are made. During the crushing step, Missouri winemakers only allow the juice to remain in contact with the skins for a brief amount of time before fermenting the juice. Since each winemaker has their own timing when it comes to making rosé wines, you’ll see a range of stunning colors and taste a variety of delicious styles in the Show-Me State. From dry to sweet and everything in-between, we invite you to discover a rosé favorite the next time you explore Missouri wine country.
