If the wine is showing indications of diminution, leave it for up to 30 minutes.
Most rosé wines do not require decanting. Some aromatic molecules, such as the passionfruit flavor in a Pinot Noir rosé, actually drift away! So, the only time you should decant a rosé wine is if it has been "reduced."
Rosé wine that has been reduced simply lacks aromas. If you only detect “mineral-like” flavors and very little fruit aromas, your white may have been reduced. It's no big deal!
Pouring the "reduced" rosé wine into a decanter will let you smell a lot more fruit fragrances!
