FAQs

What makes rosé different from red and white wine?

Rosé gets its color from a brief period of maceration when grape juice contacts the grape skin for roughly one to three days, unlike red wine’s much longer maceration and the limited or absent maceration in some white wines.

How are rosé’s pink shades created?

Its pink shades come from the short contact time between grape juice and grape skins, which is the maceration process used for rosés.

Where did rosé production originate, according to the book?

The book notes that as far back as around 4100 BC, people in Armenia were producing what is recognized today as rosé.
