There are three ways to produce rose wines which include; skin contact, saignee, and blending.  After World War II the demand for white wine increased dramatically. The demand for white wines exceeded the availability of white grapes.  Many producers experimented making white wines from red grape varietals. Sutter Home Winery was one of the pioneers behind the creation of white zinfandel. One cause for a Sweet Rose Wine is due to the fermentation process ending before the sugar turns into alcohol. The term blush originally was a term coined for the color of the wine but in recent times has been used internationally to describe a sweeter wine. Some examples of sweet rose are: Mateus rose, White Zinfandel, etc.
