(Courtesy of Fort Ross Vineyard)Come summer in the South of France, there's a saying that goes "Rosé all day." Indeed, there's nothing like a glass of refreshing chilled rosé with lunch or in the afternoon on a sweltering hot day. With the peak summer months of July and August here, rosé drinking season is in full swing. While it's a wine associated with the South of France, countries of all over the world produce equally fantastic varieties that are worth discovering and more importantly, drinking.
Herein, our global tour:

Pratsch Organic Rosé ($13)

France
Mont Gravet Rosé ($10)
Mont Gravet Rosé is made of 100% Cinsault grapes.

Fresh and almost crisp in the vain of a champagne, it’s refreshing on the palate and features long-lasting fruit flavors. It’s wonderful anytime, but especially great with sushi, shellfish, or after dinner with berries.
Germany
Schafer Dry Rosé ($14)
Schafer Organic Rosé is a wonderful “anytime” wine and a delicious aperitif.

(Courtesy of Winesellers Limited)Carlos Serres started wine making in 1896 in the region of Rioja. This rose is made in the traditional ‘sangrado’ (“bleeding”) style: the juice is obtained from a gentle pressing of the grapes and gets 10 to 12 hours of cold maceration on the skins. Sporting a crisp and bright taste, it features a more candy-like palette than most of the other rosés on this list, but still contains the familiar red fruit notes. Perfect to pair with all types of Mediterranean food from salad and seafood to cheese plates.
