Rosé wine is a type of wine that is made from red grapes, but with limited contact with the grape skins during fermentation, giving it its characteristic pink color. The brief skin contact allows for a lighter extraction of color, tannins, and flavors compared to red wines, resulting in a wine that is typically fresh, fruity, and vibrant, with a range of flavors from strawberries and raspberries to citrus and floral notes. Rosé wines can be produced using various methods, such as maceration (where the skins are left in contact with the juice for a short time), direct pressing (where the grapes are pressed immediately after harvest), or blending (mixing red and white wines). They can be made from a variety of red grape varieties, including Grenache, Pinot Noir, and Syrah, and are often enjoyed chilled. Rosé is popular for its versatility, pairing well with a wide range of foods, and is especially favored in warmer weather or as a refreshing, light alternative to white or red wines.
