The grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé

Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé is a vibrant expression of one of the world’s best-known grape varieties, transformed into a refreshing and aromatic wine style. Characterized by enticing aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and subtle hints of red currant, the palate showcases fresh red fruit flavors balanced by crisp acidity and a delicate, dry finish. Notes of pink grapefruit, watermelon, and sometimes a touch of bell pepper or green herbs can be present, reflecting the grape’s classic character.

This rosé style is crafted in prominent wine regions such as California, Washington State, the South of France (notably Provence and Languedoc), Australia, and Chile. The winemaking approach may range from light and pale to more richly colored, with some producers opting for a few hours of skin contact to extract greater flavor intensity.

Typical Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé wines are dry, medium-bodied, and favor a refreshing, fruit-forward profile, making them versatile for various occasions. Food pairings work particularly well with grilled seafood, summer salads, Mediterranean dishes, light charcuterie, and fresh goat cheeses. Its balance of fruit and acidity makes it a delightful choice for warm-weather dining and casual gatherings.
