How is rosé wine made?
There are three most important strategies of constructing rosé wine: direct press, quick maceration (together with saignée), and mixing.
With direct press, purple grapes are picked, put right into a press and crushed gently. The grape skins stay involved with the juice till the specified stage of pink is achieved.
Typically a small proportion of white grapes may be co-pressed and co-fermented with the purple grapes, which might enhance acidity and freshness. That is allowed in appellations corresponding to Côtes de Provence.
Alternatively, purple grape skins may be macerated of their juice for a brief interval earlier than urgent and fermentation – the longer the maceration interval, the darker the color of the rosé.
The saignée technique sometimes entails bleeding a proportion of pink-tinged juice out of a tank destined to make purple wine. The juice has been involved with the grape skins for a brief period of time, and is subsequently pale pink in color.
Usually the remaining wine within the tank will go on to be made into purple wine, however on different events the saignée technique is used with the categorical intention of constructing rosé.
Decanter‘s rosé knowledgeable Elizabeth Gabay MW says: ‘Producers are actually selecting to make these wines individually from the purple wines, harvesting earlier to take care of freshness.’ In consequence, these wines ‘have each full-bodied freshness and darker color’.
Some primary rosés use a small quantity of purple wine blended right into a white wine. Most EU appellations don’t allow this technique, with rosé Champagne being the notable exception.
