SUMMER is coming!!

Hello everyone:

Last week was a unbearable week, the temperature was already reached 34 degree!!! 

Really hot day, isn't it? 

And that means summer is coming~ 

So, the question is: what is the best way to enjoy summer, in your opinion? 

There's really no wrong way to choose roséthat it’s officially rosé season!


 

Since 2008, rose wine has been outselling white wine in France. A rose is a pink-colored wine that is made from red, purple or black grapes. The skins are only in contact with the juice for a short time, thus creating the pink hue. 

Pink is New White




TIPS: How is Rosé Made?

At its most basic description, rosé is made from red grapes that see just a short time of skin contact during the fermentation process (anywhere from a couple of hours to a little over a day). Depending upon the length of maceration time the clear juice remains in contact with the dark skins, the color can range from a pale touch of blush to a brilliant, translucent ruby red.
The saignée method is also common and involves "bleeding off" a small portion of the juice during red wine production, resulting in a very concentrated version of rosé.
There are always exceptions to the general rule, however. Rosé can also be made by blending white wine with red wine (as in rosé Champagne production), or by a "whole cluster" pressing, but these methods are much less common.
