Pinot Noir Rosé is Swiss Village Winery's off-dry rosé made by the saignée method — the same red-winemaking process used for the winery's Pinot Noir reds — from 100% Pinot Noir grown in the Aokihara district of Ikeda-machi, Nagano, the same growing area behind the winery's Pinot Noir deuxième. Juice is bled off early in fermentation and vinified separately, giving it a light color, soft tannins, and a fruity, slightly sweet character distinct from the winery's dry, structured red Pinot Noirs. Best served chilled at 7-10°C.
Swiss Village Winery's only Pinot Noir made by saignée — proof that Nagano Pinot Noir can be playful and off-dry, not just serious and structured.

- How is Pinot Noir Rosé different from Swiss Village Winery's red Pinot Noirs?
- Unlike the winery's dry, full-bodied red Pinot Noirs (Premier Misato and deuxième), this rosé is made by the saignée method and finished off-dry, giving it a lighter, fruitier, slightly sweet profile rather than firm tannins and structure.
- What is the saignée method used to make this rosé?
- Saignée (French for 'bleeding') draws off juice early from a red wine fermentation; that pink juice is fermented separately into a rosé, sharing the same Pinot Noir fruit as the reds but with much lighter color and softer tannins.
- Is Pinot Noir Rosé sweet or dry?
- It's classified as slightly sweet (やや甘口) rather than dry, giving it a soft, approachable sweetness balanced by fresh berry acidity — distinct from the winery's dry red Pinot Noirs.
- What food pairs well with Pinot Noir Rosé?
- Its off-dry, fruity profile pairs well with spicy or fried foods, light appetizers, and fruit desserts — more versatile with sweeter or spicier dishes than the winery's dry red Pinot Noirs.
