| ROSE TYPES |
|
Most grapes except a Syrah, Petit Sirah and Alicante can be blended together to make a Rose. Just leave the crush on the skins for one to two days and press out lightly. A 100 % Grenache or Sangiovese left just one day on the skins after crushing makes an excellent Rose. |

WHITE WINES |
| All white grapes can be blended. Just try to mix the varieties with a high acid with a variety that has low acid. |
