Rosé or Pink<br />
wines...<br />
BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER<br />
In ancient times winemaking was carried out<br />
using primitive methods which did not involve<br />
much maceration, leaving the skins with<br />
the juice...<br />

Even in Champagne during the<br />
Middle Ages, wines were more red<br />
than white until it was realised that<br />
it was the skins that imparted the<br />
colour to the wine.<br />
After the Second World War the<br />
Portugese started to produce a<br />
slightly sparkling rosé wine called<br />
Mateus Rosé.<br />
Thus the wines were very lightly coloured.<br />
As time progressed and the Greeks and Romans became<br />
more into winemaking, the realisation that letting the wine sit<br />
with the skins for a time led to darker more coloured wine.<br />
This and others set records which<br />
led to Rosés being taken seriously.<br />
More recently ‘Blush’ wines have<br />
become trendy, particularly White<br />
Zinfandel.<br />
