I'd liked to make a dry Rose kit next. Does anyone have any experience with Roses and recommendations of which one to try?
Thanks!

RJS is coming out with a Shiraz Viognier for their RQ release next year. The description is Dry and Heavy Oak. It would be red and white blend though..
Oh, that's probably what they are doing then, I didn't figure they would even mention the Viongnier at 3-5%. So I thought it was going to blend the other way adding some color and tannin to the Viognier producing a blush.Syrah gets blended quite often with small amounts of Viognier. Usually only 3-5% so the resulting wine is still a big bold red wine. Syrah by itself produces an inky black wine that you almost can't see through so the Viognier adds another layer to the flavor profile without changing the appearance of the wine.
I just did the rjs frech rose, its ok, its only a 12 liter kit though, id be more inclined to do passport limited edition cab sauv rose if u want a nice rose, i havent done one myself but thats the one id go for if i were to do another rose, too busy with fruit wines in the summer but i did pre-order all the rjs rq18s for this winter.I'd liked to make a dry Rose kit next.

Jim, I did find the SB Rose, on Amazon, free shipping, and am going to make it. Still deciding whether to make fully dry, or off. I like dry wines, nit sweet, but hard to know just how sweet "off dry" is. Thanks for the advice!Spagnols makes a French Rose kit in the Grand Cru International line
Cellar Craft issued a LR Cabernet Sauvignon Rose that I have clearing right now. I know FineVineWines is out of stock, but you might find it elsewhere.
I think the Sauvignon Blanc Rose can be found. It is a little off-dry, but you can certainly add the f-pack into the primary and make it dry.

Its a little confusing. The description says Rose, but the pic is the Selection Sauvignon Blanc.
If it isn't the Rose, a Sauvignon Blanc is good to have anyway.Yes, did not catch the photo disparity. I double checked my order and it says Rose. Well, fingers crossed that I get what I want! I'll let you know. Thanks
True enough, but I already have the Eclipse SB aging. Can't have too much SB, though!If it isn't the Rose, a Sauvignon Blanc is good to have anyway.![]()

Saaaweeeettt!!!!Jim, it arrived today and YES it is the Rose!![]()
it is not technically a Rose but a white wine blended with a red wine concentrate to resemble a rose. I have had good luck with a Pinot Noir Rose offered by RJS. hard to find but great once you have it.
I understand, but this did get very strong, positive reviews, so I thought I would try it. I do plan to do the Pinot Noir Rose as well and will start looking for it. Thank you for the input! I'm sure the two will be very different, and that's great!it is not technically a Rose but a white wine blended with a red wine concentrate to resemble a rose.
