What is a blush wine?

Blush wine, also known as rosé wine, is a type of wine that is made from red grapes but has a lighter color than red wine. The color of blush wine ranges from pale pink to a deeper salmon or coral shade, depending on the grape variety and winemaking techniques.

Blush wine is made by allowing the grape skins to remain in contact with the juice for a short time before removing them, which gives the wine its pink color. It can be made from a variety of red grape varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Syrah, or Grenache.

Blush wine can be either dry or sweet, depending on the winemaker's style and the grape variety used. Additionally, blush wine can be still or sparkling, with popular sparkling varieties including Prosecco Rosé and Champagne Rosé.

Blush wine is typically served chilled and makes a refreshing summer sipper. It pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled chicken, fish, salads, and fresh fruits.
