ROSÉ WINE

Pink wine happily spans the colour space between red and white wine, in a way, rosé is more like a state of mind. Rosé happens when the skins of red grapes touch the juice for only a short time. Where some red wines ferment for weeks at a time on red grape skins, rosé wines are stained red from just a few hours of skin contact. Nearly any red wine grape (from Cabernet Sauvignon to Nebbiolo to Syrah) can be used to make rosé and displays pretty red fruits, florals, citrus, and melon, with a pleasant crunchy rhubarb finish. Is your favourite colour pink?
