For many drinkers, there is only one kind of rosé to consider. With its ultra-pale salmony hue, zippy fresh fruit and bone-dry finish, elegant Provence pink is popular for a reason. But rosé, just like red and white wine, is so much more diverse than we give it credit for.
Rosé is a pink wine typically made from red wine grapes where the grape skins touch wine only for a very short time – usually just a few hours. There are a few methods used to produce rosé wine but the most popular and widely accepted has always been limited skin maceration, where the grapes are crushed and the juice is left in contact with the skins anywhere from 6 to 48 hours.
