For a few years, ros\u00e9 wine<\/strong> has been gaining popularity in Spain. It is a smooth and refreshing drink,<\/strong> with a delicious flavor that can be paired with many different types of food. <\/p>\n\n

But there is always a question that flies over diners when they have a ros\u00e9 on the table. <\/p>\n\n

What is ros\u00e9 wine? How do you do it?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

And around these questions, several hypotheses and legends have been created that are not true. Therefore, from Bodegas Altanza<\/a> , we are going to explain everything you always wanted to know about this drink. <\/p>\n\n

What is ros\u00e9 wine<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

As many will imagine, a ros\u00e9 wine is a red wine with little maceration, in which black and white grapes have been mixed for its elaboration<\/strong> . In turn, the tonality depends on its maceration time: the shorter the time a whiter and softer tone, the longer a more intense pink and even purplish or purplish color. <\/p>\n\n

The color also depends on the techniques used to prepare it. <\/p>\n\n

How ros\u00e9 wine is made<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

Ros\u00e9 wines in Spain<\/strong> are characterized by a wide range of fruity and floral notes<\/strong> . To achieve that unique flavor, different techniques are used. <\/p>\n\n

By contact with skins<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

It is the ros\u00e9 wine that is obtained by partial maceration, that is, a contact of two or three days with the must<\/strong> and the solid materials of the grape or skins<\/strong> (the skin and the seeds, pulp and stems of the fruit), which are those that contain color. <\/p>\n\n

By bleeding<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

Another way to obtain ros\u00e9 is as a by-product of red wine fermentation,<\/strong> using the bleeding technique, which translates into removing part of the must from the red grapes, but not their skins, with the aim of obtaining, on the one hand, a highly concentrated red wine by having monopolized the highest proportion of skins and, on the other, On the other hand, a ros\u00e9 wine that will ferment with hardly any skins. <\/p>\n\n

Gray wine<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

This type of ros\u00e9 wine is produced when red grapes are used to prepare<\/strong> it, which results in a very clear, almost white wine<\/strong> . The grapes are directly pressed and a very short maceration time<\/strong> is applied to minimize the extraction of color from the skins. Then it is bottled without aging in wineries. <\/p>\n\n

One way to tell them apart is that they have a very faint salmon color<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n

Before pressing the grapes, the grain is removed and thus it is guaranteed that this tonality is obtained. <\/p>\n\n

By mixing<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

This technique is quite infrequent to be performed. As its name suggests, it is the mixture of red and white wine to obtain the ros\u00e9<\/strong> . This method is discouraged in almost all wine regions as it does not produce quality ros\u00e9 wine. <\/p>\n\n

Claret<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

Claret-type ros\u00e9 wine is made in a similar way to red wine, fermenting with skins, but with a good proportion of white grapes,<\/strong> which means that the final ros\u00e9 wine does not acquire as much color. It is a typical drink from La Rioja<\/strong> , Aragon, the Basque Country and some areas of Soria, Burgos and Valladolid. <\/p>\n\n

With what to drink ros\u00e9 wine. Types of ros\u00e9 wine and pairing<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n

Before being able to pair it, we must know very well the types of ros\u00e9 wine that we will find, so that our choice is the most successful possible. <\/p>\n\n

Thus, we can distinguish two types of ros\u00e9 wine: <\/p>\n\n

  1. Dry cut:<\/strong> common in Spain and France, countries that also lead the production of this ros\u00e9 wine in which two to three different types of grapes are used for its production. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n
    1. Sweet cut<\/strong> : a type of ros\u00e9 wine that is not so used in Spain. To produce it, do not allow all the sugar to ferment in the alcohol <\/li><\/ol>\n\n

      Once we have this clear, we must choose dishes that, like ros\u00e9 wine, are fresh and fruity. The meals with which good ros\u00e9 wine is usually tasted are: <\/p>\n\n
