Celebrate Summer with Firstleaf’s Exclusive Collection of Award-Winning Rosé Wines

Firstleaf Data Reveals That Rosé is On Course to Be the No. 1 Wine Choice In Several of the Nation's Largest States This Summer

NAPA VALLEY, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 13, 2023 / Synonymous with outdoor dining and summer's relaxed vibe, rosés and lighter wines are some of the season's favorite sips. Should 2022's wine consumption trends continue this year, wine lovers in New York, Colorado and Pennsylvania will have outpaced other states in making rosé their summer wine of choice.

That's according to Firstleaf, America's most personalized wine company, which also anticipates rosé interest to soar in California, Florida, and Texas as summer heats up. These states round out the top six where Firstleaf members are reaching for rosé - and other refreshing, light-bodied varieties - to accompany many of their warm-weather pursuits.

"We're not surprised at all by the data, as there are so many summertime activities perfectly suited to our rosés and lighter wines," said Firstleaf Founder and CEO, Philip James. "At one time, there was a myth that wine was not typically associated with everything from the beach to barbecues. But today, consumers are enjoying summertime wines at every occasion, and we're happy to offer what is truly an extensive collection of award-winning, lighter varieties that will enhance the summer season."

Firstleaf is offering a special summer ready Rosé Season 15-bottle bundle, filled with bottles that are both exclusive to Firstleaf and award-winners:

• Dolcetto Rosé by Linguist Estates offers exotic aromas and tropical fruit flavors accompanied by a delectable structural balance. This wine comes from one of our most decorated California brands, which boasts many awards, including Best of Class and Best of Central Coast, as well as multiple Gold Medals and 90+ point scores.
• Chanmé Méchant Cinsault-Grenache Rosé, Firstleaf's Double Gold Medal-winning Rosé, is crafted in a Provençal style, using a blend of the grape varieties Cinsault and Grenache. However, this wine leans darker in color and fruitier in flavor than the dry, delicate rosés of Provence, and features pungent floral aromas and ripe red and stone fruit notes.
• Punt Comú Cava Brut Rosé is a triple Silver Award winner and a Firstleaf exclusive. Spain's Mediterranean climate is perfect for winegrowing, so it's no surprise that one of the world's favorite sparkling wines, cava, comes from Spain. Warm, dry days during the growing season are tempered by the nearby Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

"While rosé continues to be a popular choice for summertime wine lovers, that's only where it begins," said James. "There are so many lighter varieties that are now enjoyed this time of year, and Firstleaf prides itself on offering wines to suit every taste."

Firstleaf employs patented technology with a remarkable 96% accuracy rate to analyze and map its award-winning collection of wines with the unique preferences of each customer. This is accomplished through an advanced quiz and ratings system which expertly matches each bottle to the member's taste.
