Rosé
Dry rosé
Red grapes, brief skin contact, and usually a very different result from red wine.
Most dry rosé takes just enough colour and flavour from red-grape skins to build a pale, fresh style without the tannin of a full red fermentation.

Taste the difference
Compare the shape, not just the label.
The quickest way to understand a style is to put it next to something deliberately different.
