Think Pink - The Craft Behind the Vibrant Rosé d’Anjou

Rosé wine has become a year-round favourite, loved for its vibrant colour, crisp acidity, and refreshing character. Despite a common misconception, rosé isn’t made by blending red and white wines—at least not in quality-focused or traditional regions. Instead, it’s produced by allowing red grape skins brief contact with the juice, extracting just enough colour and flavour without the depth or tannins of a red.

The most common methods include maceration, where the skins soak with the juice for a short time, and saignée (or “bleeding”), where a portion of red wine is drawn off early to create a rosé with more concentration. These techniques result in a broad range of styles, from bone-dry to lightly sweet, and from pale salmon hues to vivid pinks.

A charming example is the Maison de Bihan 2023 Rosé d’Anjou, from France’s Val de Loire. Crafted from Grolleau and Cabernet Franc, it delivers delicate floral aromas, juicy red berry flavours, and a soft, slightly off-dry finish. It’s a beautifully balanced wine—ideal for al fresco dining, grilled vegetables, fresh salads, or simply sipping in the sun. 

You’ll find this delightful rosé featured in July’s Brad’s Wine Subscription case, carefully curated to showcase the best of seasonal, easy-drinking wines.
