What Is A Gastronomic Rosé

There’s an angel on my shoulder and it’s a savory gastronomic wine from Vinolus Rosé @vinolusorganikbaglar

A gastronomic rosé wine is a type of rosé specifically crafted to pair well with food. Unlike some rosé wines that might be lighter and simpler, gastronomic rosés tend to be on the opposite spectrum. Here’s why:

▫️Quality grapes from regions specifically know for quality rosé I.e Tavel, Navarra, Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo and Central Anatolia

▫️Longer skin contact creates more structure, color and depth.

▫️Wider range of complex flavors and aromas (think floral, savory, herbaceous) allowing it to stand up to richer foods.

▫️Higher acid, deeper flavors and medium bodied allows them to stand up to richer foods.

I had to pleasure to meet the winemaker at the first @turkishwinechallenge as this was one of my favorite first Turkish wine discoveries.

My tasting Notes on this rosé:

This gastronomic rosé is a fascinating blend of Kalecik Kararis and Tempranillo from Central Anatolia, Turkiye.

Fabulous, deep pink a 4.0 on the color scale

Dazzling aromas of cherry, red plum, watermelon, strawberries, hibiscus, grapefruit zest and minerality with a slight gamey note.

The first sip is a lip smacking freshness of fruit intertwined with miernality. The zingy acid hits the palate with cherry strength. Peach skin, tangerine, lemon pith, saline sway to a bell pepper, cardamom and black pepper finish. A savory rosé with a creamy texture. The 14% alcohol is blended ever so elegantly, an definite ode to freshness and complexity. Bolden end of the rosé spectrum and savory

It has more body and structure than most pink wines and is considered to have all the character of good red wine.
