What is the typical fermentation temperature range for rosé production?

Explanation:
Fermentation temperature shapes aroma, color retention, and acidity. For rosé, keeping fermentation cool helps preserve fresh, fruity aromas and a light pink color while maintaining lively acidity. If it’s warmer, you risk losing that delicate aroma, pushing flavors toward riper, less fresh notes, and increasing color extraction or tannin perception. Too cold, and fermentation can slow or stall. The 12–16°C range provides the balance: enough activity for the yeast to finish fermenting without compromising aroma and brightness.
