Rose wines
Rosé is a wine known for its blush or pink
colour. This pretty colour is created when the
juice of black grapes is fermented with the
skins for a very short period of time, from a
few hours to a few days until the juice turns
colour. Like white wine, it is also low in
tannins, though some rosés are dry. Rosé is a
popular crowd-pleaser, especially for
summertime parties, and a great choice as a
starter wine because of its light, sweet flavour
