Wine Fact of the day! Whats up with rosé?

With all the rosé's being released in the upcoming weeks I would like to explain what rose is and how its made. Rose is any wine that has a pink hue, so things like Bandol Rosé and California White Zin are in that group. Made in three different ways, there are many styles of Rosé. The first method is skin contact, in which the grapes are crushed and left with the skins in contact with them as in fermentation of red wine, however after a short period of time (a few days usually) the skins are removed after imparting some tannin and color to the wine. The second method is called Saignée, in which during the process of making red wine some of the pink juice is bled off to increase the intensity and tannin. This left over juice can be fermented and become Rosé. The third way Rosé is produced is through blending red and white wine together, although this is not a common practice. While many people think of Rosé as light, sweet wines there is in fact a wide range of styles. The original style from France is a light, dry rosé, while here in the United States most are the White Zin style of sugary sweet pink wines. There are many dry Rosé's produced all over the world that serious wine drinkers find very enjoyable. I hope that this explained a few things and please let me know if there's anything I missed.
