How is Rose made?
The colour of a rosé will be determined by the grapes used to make it. All kinds of red wine grapes are used to make rosé. Rosé is made one of three ways:
In the first method, crushed red-skinned grapes remain in contact with the juice for a short period of time. The grape skins are discarded when the grapes are pressed, rather than left throughout fermentation as with red wine making. The longer the skins are left in contact with the juice, the more intense the color of the final wine.
The second method, known as bleeding the vats, is used to impart more tannin and color to a red wine by removing some pink juice from red wine vats at an early stage. This removed juice is then fermented separately, producing the rosé as a by-product of the red wine. Bleeding was the method used to produce the once very popular California White Zinfandel.
The third method is by blending, the simple mixing of red wine with white wine to impart color. This method is discouraged in most wine growing regions and has even fallen out of vogue in Champagne, where it was once respected.
