Rosé wines are wines which are not truly red (rosé is translated as 'pinkish') but have enough of a reddish tinge to make them assuredly not white. The actual color varies depending on the grapes involved, and the length of time the skins are left in contact with the juice. These wines are in most respects (ie the most common method of vinification) white in character and flavour, with only the tinge of red and some subtle taste differences belying the difference.
In recent years, rosé has begun to revolve towards a drier style – quite often a bigger 'food-friendly' style which encourages some acidity and even light tannins to give the wine character.
