Rosés are known to be the best types of wine to spice up the summer period. Their vibrant flavors and food-friendly nature are among the top reasons we love them. But as fall approaches, these summer favorites bring a new experience that’ll keep your taste buds buzzing. In this article, we’ve curated a list of the top 10 rosés for this year’s fall.
Marine Layer Carina Rosé 2023
This isn’t the usual mineral-driven rosé that works perfectly for poolside enjoyment. Instead, it’s a brand that steals the show with its vibrant and exciting flavors. It is made with 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Grenache from California’s Sonoma Coast. You’ll also notice hints of grapefruit, watermelon, and hibiscus in this mix.
The Language of Yes Les Fruits Rouges 2023
If you’re a fan of fruity mixes, then this rosé is for you. The Language of Yes is Randall Grahm’s latest project based on the state’s Central Coast. It reflects his interest in southern France by displaying a blend of grapes typically found in that region. This rosé is deep and concentrated, containing various fruits, from guava and pineapple to fresh berries.
Reeve Rosé of Pinot Noir Stroh Vineyard 2023
This is a Pinot Noir rosé from the organic Stroh vineyard in the Potter Valley AVA of California’s Mendocino County. It has a delicate yet assertive taste with hints of lemon zest, grapefruit pith, honeysuckle, and strawberries.
Jolie-Laide Gamay and Cabernet Franc Rosé 2023
This wine has a light yet expressive taste that makes it easy to drink. It’s a blend of 70% Gamay and 30% Cabernet Franc from the granite soils of the Barsotti Vineyard in California. When drinking this, you’ll notice a mix of grapefruit, wild strawberries, and honeydew melon.
Famille Coulon Le Petit Renard Rosé 2023
If you’re looking for a fruity, acidic balance, then you should try Famille Coulon le Petit Renard. This rosé is from southern France and contains 95% of the biodynamically farmed Grenache and 5% Syrah. This gives it an expressive taste with aromas of grapefruit and tropical fruits like guava.
Arnot-Roberts Rosé 2023
This rosé has a sophisticated vibe, containing a mix of strawberries, cream, and cinnamon spice. Once the wine hits your palate, you’re met with a silky texture. You’ll also notice an array of exciting flavors like juicy red plums, grapefruit, peach, and mixed berry yogurt.
Bedrock Wine Co. Ode to Lulu Rosé 2023 (California, USA)
Bedrock’s Ode to Lulu Rosé brings a Californian element to the great Mourvèdre-based rosés of the world. This 2023 vintage combines 76% Mourvèdre, 16% Syrah, and 8% Grenache, all of which were gotten from centenarian vineyards in the Contra Costa and Sonoma Counties. When taking this wine, you’ll notice Mourvèdre’s signature tastes with added aromatics of orange blossoms, strawberry candies, and cherries.
Château Minuty 281 2023 (Provence, France)
This rosé from Château Minuty is an upgrade from the typical Provence rosés we’ve come to know and love. It’s an expressive blend that will exude the aromas of a peach ring, mango, apricot, papaya, and white flowers floating out of your glass.
