Rosé wines are usually considered dry (sweeter-style pink wines are often referred to as blush or white zinfandel) but they may range from bone dry to quite fruity. The colour comes from skin contact, as do many of the wine’s flavours. The darker the colour, the stronger the flavours will be since the wine spent more time mixing with the skins. These darker, fuller-flavoured examples are really more like a light red wine while still offering bright acidity and the refreshment that comes from drinking them chilled. Lighter, more delicate styles tend to offer pretty floral aromatics with mild flavours of strawberry and raspberry.
