Recommendations for selecting the Rosé Wine
The most common varieties to make rosé wine are: Garnacha, Syrah, Cariñena, Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Cinsault. The secret always when using Rosé for cocktails is to use one of great quality. Hence, I have the 10 must-have Rosé under $25 that you can use as base wine for the Rosé Wine Clericot. My recommendation will be go for the Provencal Style.
