Perhaps best known in Provence and Tavel, rose is a great pink wine. Rarely super complex, and not to be aged, good roses are tart and fruity, and cut through the garlicky aioli so often accompanying fish and fish stews in the Mediterranean. Roses are also good choices for cold luncheons, picnics and buffets. They are made from red wine grapes, and during fermentation have minimal skin contact so they don't pick up too much color from the grape skins.
