#WineWisdom: Rosé Styles

Yes, wine in general is complex, but sometimes we get too complicated. Let's go back to the fun times where you just want to pop open a bottle and have a great summer day. Rosé is not just pink wine. >> [music] >> I know [music] it's summer and we should keep it all simple. But rosé is not just pink wine. They're actually some of the most diverse bottles that we have on the shelf. There is four different ways to make rosés. There's so many different grapes that you can make rosé from. But let's try to narrow it down in the most simplistic way possible. First is that you get, let's say for example, red cabernet and you just press it and that's when you get the lightest type of rosé color, direct press rosé. Second is when you have direct skin contact. That's when you maybe let the wine sit with the skin for a while to give it a little deeper pink color. Third is going to be the darkest. It's called saignée, like the Herzog one. Basically, you're bleeding the wine. You're taking the first juice of a red wine and you turn that into rosé. So, it's going to be the lightest of that red wine that was supposed to be, but it's still the darkest of the rosé family. It's called, again, saignée. Lastly, yes, it does happen, not only in your glass, in real wineries, you blend red wine and white wine and you turn it into rosé. Don't underestimate rosé drinkers. Yes, way rosé all day. Learn about the different colors and when you see somebody grabs a darker rosé off the shelf, don't think that he doesn't know. He knows. So, remember, the more we taste, the more we know. L'chaim.
