If you are planning a rosé wine tour in Margaret River, we can help you discover cellar doors offering some of the region’s best pink drops. From well-known sparkling rosé to small-batch releases, here are a few of our favourites.
How Is Rosé Wine Made
Rosé is made from red grapes, but unlike red wine, the juice is only kept in contact with the skins for a short time. This skin contact is what gives rosé its signature pink colour. The longer the juice stays on the skins, the deeper the hue. After this brief maceration, the wine is fermented much like a white wine, producing a light, crisp and often dry style. The result is a wine that bridges the gap between red and white, with lovely fruit character and refreshing acidity.
Now let’s take a look at where you can find top rosé wine in Margaret River.
