Other rosé wines from Provence are vinified like white wines, with the difference that they are made from red-skinned grapes. In this case, the same vinification techniques are used as for the great wines: plot-by-plot selections, low yields, press selections, ageing on lees or in barrels, etc. These rosé wines from Provence can age 3 or even 5 years, and why not more!
Once again, it all depends on the rosé wine.
Fruity, juicy, crisp Provence rosés should be served between 10°C and 12°C, but never ice-cold so as not to lose their aromatic expression.
The most complex, the great rosés of Provence, should be served like reds by taking them out of the cellar fifteen minutes before serving. Serve between 12°C and 14°C.
