If you think rosé wines are overly sweet or just a little too pink, think again—they are one of the hottest trends among wine aficionados at the moment.

For some enthusiasts, rosé wines might have been seen as lightweight or unworthy of sipping or sharing.

That view is changing, however, as winemakers take rosé to a crisper, dryer level that may surprise you.

Biltmore Reserve North Carolina Rosé Wine

Nothing could be finer than sipping our Biltmore Reserve North Carolina Rosé with all your favorite flavors!

Biltmore Winery cultivates a number of varietals in our estate vineyards, and each season we hope to craft Biltmore Reserve wines that reflect the distinctive terroir of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

According to Sharon, the only wines considered for the Biltmore Reserve wine label are those handcrafted from grapes grown in Biltmore’s own estate vineyard and by our North Carolina partners. By law, wines with an appellation and vintage date must contain at least 75% of grapes from the specific region in the year noted.

“Our Biltmore® Reserve North Carolina Rosé is crafted from select North Carolina Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes,” noted Sharon. “We’ve coaxed beautiful color and subtle complexity from the fruit, so you can expect aromas of banana, strawberry, and papaya followed by crisp, off-dry flavors of lemon, white peach, and hints of minerality that lead to a fruity finish.”

Approachable and easy to drink, it’s perfect year-round with charcuterie, mustard-glazed salmon, pesto pizza, smoked gouda cheese, and holiday favorites like glazed ham.

“Make it a go-to wine for brunch, porch sipping, and your next Taco Tuesday featuring fish tacos drizzled with lime juice,” Sharon said.

In addition to Biltmore® Reserve North Carolina Rosé, we also offer delightful options like Biltmore Estate® Sweet Rosé—a lightly sweet rosé with delightful scents of cherry, spice, candied watermelon, strawberry, and rhubarb, followed by juicy flavors of jellied pâte de fruits, lime, and mint. This wine is surprisingly versatile, pairing deliciously with a wide range of foods including barbecue, hot and sour soup, figs, and olives.

Our Biltmore Estate® Dry Rosé is an elegant and refreshing wine with a subtle, fruit-forward bouquet featuring notes of nectarine, grapefruit, hibiscus, and hints of pink peppercorn. Soft and nicely balanced in its sweetness to acidity, this rosé offers delicate flavors of cherry, apricot, and raspberry.

Enjoy it year-round with light favorites like grilled chicken, Caesar salad topped with salmon, strawberry pecan salad, or baked brie with apricot jam.

For a sparkling wine as delicious as it is beautiful, try our coral-hued Biltmore Estate Blanc de Noir wine handcrafted from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes in the traditional méthode champenoise that creates the finest tiny bubbles.

Crisp and refreshing, with flavors of wild strawberry and watermelon, this versatile Biltmore sparkling wine pairs perfectly with an antipasto platter, smoked turkey, shrimp ceviche, watermelon-feta salad, and angel food cake with strawberries. It’s ideal for brunch, lunch gatherings, and holiday festivities.
