As the temperature rises, there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with a chilled glass of rosé. Whether you’re lounging poolside, enjoying a seaside sunset, or hosting a summer brunch, rosé brings a refreshing, elegant touch to every moment.
Rosé wine gets its signature blush hue through a process called maceration, where red grape skins are left in contact with the juice for a short time—anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. This brief skin contact gives rosé its beautiful pink colour and light tannins, creating a wine that has the freshness of a white wine with the character of a red.
It’s crisp, fruity, versatile, and endlessly stylish—perfect for Cyprus’ sunny weather and relaxed summer vibes.
