"Rosé blend" can mean a blend of just about any varietals since the designation comes from the resulting color of the wine. (maybe someone can update this article with the traditional blends for different regions). In Bordeaux France for example some Rose's are deeply coloured with a blend of Merlot and Cabenet Franc bled off the Vats at an early stage - see for example Chateau De Sours for a good example of this.

From back label: This fruity and fragrant wine is made on the slopes of the Fronton region just to the North of Toulouse. It is made from a blend of grapes including the distinctive Négrette grown on the very progressive 112 hectare estate of CHÂTEAU BELLEVUE LA FORÊT.
