Even though the season has barely begun, we’re ready to call it: This is going to be the best year
ever for Canadian rosé. That’s huge, given that, not so long ago, imports dominated the pink wine market. Now, thanks to wineries across the country who’ve fully embraced the rosé movement, we have plenty of great homegrown options.
More than almost any other style, pink wine is about being in the moment. Because it’s delicate and contains fewer tannins than some other wines, rosé doesn’t get any better in the cellar. With rosé, the rule is always “Drink now.” And we say, “We’re here for it,” starting with three wines from British Columbia, where a lot of winemakers were ahead of the curve when it came to pink wine.
