Rosé is a type of wine that is neither purely red wine nor purely white wine. It is made from red-skinned grapes with the skins removed from contact with the pressed juice for a short period, rather than left in contact throughout fermentation as with red wine making. As the skins contain much of the strongly flavoured tannin and other compounds, this leaves the wine tasting more similar to a white wine.


European rosé are often dry wines while American ones, such as white Zinfandel are often very sweet.


Sometimes rosé wines have been made by mixing red and white wines, but this practise is discouraged in most wine growing regions now except for Rosé de Champagne.


Rosé is also known as blush wine in America.
