Northwest Rosé Wines

Rosé is not a blend of red and white wine, nor is it, historically, a sweet concoction of corn syrup and artificial flavor, as is found in the cooler at your local 7-11.

Rosé is made from red grape varietals, including Pinot noir, Grenache, Sangiovese, Syrah and Mourvedre. Some wineries add a bit of white wine to their blend. Traditional dry Rosé is a delicate wine, drunk young, that is particularly refreshing during the hot summer.

Many Oregon and washington winemakers make dry Rosé for their private consumption, and winemakers like Eric Hamacher of Hamacher Winery say that dry Rosé is their favorite summer wine.

The pale pink color of Rosé comes from exposing the grape juice to the grape skins just long enough to pick up a tinge of pinkm versus longer contact, which produces the dark red color of red wines.
