To qualify as a rosé, the wine must be made by using a method called skin contact.

This is when the skin from red grapes is left in the white grape juice for just enough time to dye the liquid that beautiful pink color we all know and love.

Rosé wine taste has a light, fruity flavor and usually contains less ABV than red or white wine.

Where does rosé come from?

Rosé wine dates all the way back to ancient Greece when wine was mostly pale red. 

There are many theories about why the ancient Greeks drank rosé, but it was probably because they didn't allow the wine to macerate as long as we do today, so the liquid never became entirely red. 

Hundreds of years later, during the middle ages, 'clairet' — a dark rosé wine, made its way to the well-known wine region of Bordeaux, France. By the 1800s, rosé wine made it all the way to California.
