Rosé Wine

Rosé

Rosé wine is produced when red
grape skins macerate in their
juices for a period of time. Rosé is
produced in every major country
and is made of nearly every grape
variety, both red and white. Rosé
wines range in taste from dry
to sweet. For example, a rosé of
Tempranillo is usually always
dry and savory. Whereas White
Zinfandel is almost always sweet
and fruity.
