"The New Pink"

I've always truly believed since we opened our doors at Gaspereau Vineyards that Rosés were not getting the attention they deserved. Ours has always been made in a traditional French style from the free-run juice of our red wines (very high quality juice). People traditionally reminisce about Mateus with the shapely bottle which always was adorned with a candle after the wine was drunk. Rosés have come such a long way since then.

May/June 09 Tidings magazine confirmed these beliefs:
"Scantily clad French folk quaff it on beachesof the Cote d'Azur. Euro-version "it" girls sip it in the stylish tapas bars of Spain. And fashionistas pour it in boardwalk eateries of California. Frankly, in places where Rosé is de rigueur, the wine is drunk rather than discussed because focsu lies elsewhere -- on tanned skin, on the view of the ocean, on easy afternoon chit chat -- and the wet stuff in the glass merely lubricates and amplifes moments." (Carolyn Evans-Hammond)

The article goes on to state that Rosé sales are soaring and in France, Rosé sales overtook white wine sales last year. "Pink is huge!" writes Tidings magazine. Rosés have become drier, more balanced, and more sophisticated.

In the spirit of this article, let's pay some attention to Gaspereau Vineyards Rosé! Made from the free-run juice of Lucie Kuhlmann grapes, it's a semi-dry sophisticated patio wine. Pairs well with BBQs, salmon, canapés, hot summer days, turkey dinners, burgers, or pizza. As always, visit the winery for complimentary tastings and ask for Rosé!
