Rosé Wine and Sunshine go Hand in Hand!
The perfect social wine! From the pretty pink hue to the refreshing taste on a warm summer day, rosé has become one of the "go-to" summer wines. Rosé is not a specific type of grape - it's a genre of wine like white or red. While similar to how red wines are produced, the time that it ferments with grape skins is shorter. The juice is run off the skins early in order to extract only the perfect amount of colour.
