Cabernet Rose ...the combination of the grape varieties often called 'blush'.The way rose is produced is in fact, very similar to the method for making red wine, except for the fact that the juice is drawn from the vat while it is still fermenting and before it has had the chance to draw too much colour from the skins.
The Rose, made using the saignee method drawing off juice from the crushed fruit, is a perfect summer drink.Serverd chilled 8-9C it is a wonderful accompaniment to any summer meal but for a perfect match try it with salade nicoise bouillabaisse,pella,cold salmon,tapas or lamb with rosemary.
