Many grapes with red skin can be used to produce Rose wines. Hue and intensity vary according to the variety and the extent of cold maceration (colour extracted from the wine skins).  After extracting the juices from the grapes and some colour from the skin, the Rose wine acquires a distinct magnificent pale red, rose, onion skin, pink or orange colours. Here, colour is not necessarily an indication of age, since Rose wines are generally drunk when young.
Shiraz Rose is usually intense, deep pink in colour, very fruity, refreshing, reflecting the soil on which it was spawned. Often crisp with a subtle dry finish, with spicy raspberry, cherry and peaches on the mid pallet.
Despite the tendency of the Rose Shiraz to be quite alcoholic in nature, overall, Rose wines are delicate, which makes them excellent well-balanced alternatives to lightly chilled red wines.
Spicy Asian dishes such as crispy duck and roasted meat will complement Rose Shiraz excellently at any barbeque. Sea food connoisseurs will also appreciate the flavour combination of Rose Shiraz with grilled salmon, sushi and tuna tartar.
