Happy National Rosé Day!
Start the summer off right with Rose! Rosé can be a dry or sweet wine that tastes similar to many white wines and offers a bright, more refreshing flavor than its deep red counterparts, making it the perfect sunny day drink. Rosé happens when the skins of red grapes touch wine for only a short time. Where some red wines ferment for weeks at a time on red grape skins, Rosé wines are stained red for just a few hours. Rosé can be made from any red grape; however, lighter-skinned grapes with fruity characteristics are usually better suited. Some of the preferred grapes used when making Rosé include Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc amongst others.
