Still Rosé

Freixenet reformulated this one with less sugar for a lighter finish, a small change that matters in a category where sweetness is the usual crutch. It still sits at 38 grams per litre, so fruity rather than bone dry, but the direction is right. The approach matches the rest of the 0.0 range. Make the wine properly first, then remove the alcohol while trying to hold onto the aromatics that come off the grape. Young, unoaked, under 0.05 percent alcohol, and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. Serve it at 4 to 6 degrees Celsius. Freixenet suggests summer salads with ripe tomatoes, or a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese, both of which lean on salt and acidity to keep the fruit in check.
