10 Reviews: Best Rosé Wine for Beginners (Apr 2024)

Scents of white peach, orange blossoms, and Asian pear in a rose gold color. On the tongue, the wine has a wonderful and nuanced taste profile of cranberry, passion fruit, wild strawberries, and tangerine. Lorenza is a native rosé created from the same grenache and mourvèdre grapes as the best French rosés. This light, dry, and delicious wine was made by Michele and Melinda as a mother-daughter partnership.

Rosés made from pinot noir are structured, flavorful, and incredibly flexible on the table, much like their red cousins. Scribe’s acid-driven expressiveness is no exception. This monovarietal wine, made in the heart of California’s Sonoma Coast, is bursting with aromas of watermelon, lemon zest, red apple peel, and sea salt. Prepare to have your thirst satisfied with lobster rolls, white-rind cheeses, or fresh salads.

Beautiful, crisp, balanced. Wonderfully executed rose

by Sean Moran

This one-of-a-kind varietal rosé, made from Touriga Nacional grapes, is crafted by one of Northern California’s most innovative winemaking teams. Fruity aromas of melon, red fruits, and orange zest lead to a finish with a salty tinge that is refreshing. Start by preheating the grill and making your favorite vegetable skewers. Then prepare yourself for a truly fantastic combo. (Chips, salsa, and handmade guacamole are all excellent accompaniments to this wine.)

Crisp and fruity. Perfect summer night drink!

Provence and rosé are inextricably linked. This organic rosé is made mostly from limestone-grown grenache, cabernet sauvignon, and Mourvedre. The juice is squeezed straight from the press, fermented with natural yeast, and vinified completely in stainless steel. The wine’s crisp and zesty tongue is dominated by juicy flavors of pomegranate, red cherries, orange peel, and lavender. Pair with typical Provençal appetizers like salad niçoise, soft cheeses, and salty olive tapenades from the southern French coast.

Awesome rose!

by Becky Price

Pratsch Rosé demonstrates once again that quality and flavor need not be sacrificed in order to make a wine more inexpensive. This organic rosé, which is made from zweigelt, is bright, little spritzy, and very delicious. Wine lovers will like the flavors of white peach, pear peel, red currants, and minerals in this wine. Toss with grilled white fish, vegetable skewers, or your favorite raw bar items and serve cold.

An excellent rose. Flavors of strawberry, raspberry and melon with a mineral finish. Slightly effervescent. Will buy again!

by Michael Brantmayer

What about a rosé of cabernet franc? Yes, without a doubt. This pink wine is made from fruit that has been grown organically and biodynamically in the heart of the Loire Valley. The wine has tastes of strawberry peel, red currants, white pepper, and crushed pebbles, and it is both savory and refreshing. Serve chilled with a range of happy hour appetizers, such as mezze or cheese boards that are influenced by Mediterranean cuisine.

Just an awesome rose that is amazingly affordable and tastes exactly as a rose should. Notes of pear, rose, apple on the nose.

It is made from a mix of merlot and malbec and is vinified bone dry, making it a delightful rosé from the North Fork of New York State. Crisp and refreshing, the palate of this wine is dominated by the vibrant notes of blood orange, grapefruit, watermelon, and crushed pebbles. Serve with Greek salads, ricotta toasts, white pizza, and other dishes that call for cold dressing. You can’t go wrong with this place.

This is the greatest. What a secret

by Mike Mac

Patrick Bottex’s cuvée is the best of all worlds: sweet, somewhat sparkling, and very wonderful. La Cueille is made using the ancestral method, which means that, unlike Champagne, this bottle of bubbles only goes through one fermentation. The wine has delicious raspberry jam, pink grapefruit, and wild woodland berries tastes. A lingering and lip-smacking finish is achieved by balancing residual sweetness with lots of natural acidities.

Awesome. Fruity easy to drink. Perfect to a slice of cheese cake.

by Chris Noltekuhlmann

As much as you may like low-cost wines, remember that low-cost does not imply low-quality. Look for wines like Mas de Daumas Gassac’s Guilhem brand, which gives a lot for the money. This organic rosé is made from direct-pressed syrah, cinsault, and carignan grapes. The wine’s easy-to-drink palate is dominated by notes of sour raspberries, peach peel, and wildflowers. At your next weekend picnic, serve cold.

Subtle and dry. Lovely on it's own or with pasta or fish.

by Stephanie McLean

This delectable French pink might be the greatest bargain rosé available. Triennes is a Provence-based joint venture between two of Burgundy’s most prominent winemakers, Aubert de Villaine (of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) and Jeremy Seysses (of Domaine Dujac). Red currants, juicy strawberries, citrus zest, and sea spray tastes abound in this organic rosé. This wine is a deal at less than $20 per bottle.

Very clean. Delicious. Thank you Jack
