Rosé Wine

Rosé wine, also known as "blush" or "pink" wine, is made from red grapes but has a pink or light red color. The color of rosé wine comes from the grape skins being in contact with the juice for a shorter period of time than with red wine. 

Rosé wine can be made from a wide variety of red grapes, such as Grenache, Syrah, and Pinot Noir, but some of the most common grape varieties used are Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Grenache.

To make rosé wine, the grapes are crushed and the juice is then left in contact with the skins for a short period of time, usually a few hours to a few days. The juice is then separated from the skins and fermented in stainless steel tanks.

The color of rosé wine can range from pale pink to deep red, depending on the grape variety and the amount of time the juice is in contact with the skins.

Rosé wine can have a wide range of flavors, depending on the grape variety and the winemaking methods used. Some common flavors include strawberry, raspberry, and floral notes. Some rosé wines can be dry, while others can be sweet.

There are different types of rosé wine such as Provence Rosé, which is known for its pale and dry style, and Tavel Rosé, which is known for its full-bodied and rich style.

Rosé wine is versatile and can be paired with a variety of foods, from seafood and salads to barbecue and spicy dishes.

Rosé wine has become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to its refreshing taste, versatility, and ability to pair with a wide variety of foods.
