Sipping chilled rosé wine outdoors while catching cool breezes is the best way to endure the hot, humid days and warm nights of summer in Miami.
Rosé wines can be semi-sparkling or sparkling, and have varied levels of sweetness and dryness. The signature pink hue of the wine depends on the time the macerated skins from red grapes stays in contact with the juice. Either way, it’s the perfect summer sip!
