Rose wines are red wines produced using the technology of white wine processing. We produced rose wine from grapes of Blaufrankisch, produced in the winegrowing country of Posavje. We used the process of pre-fermentation maceration. Maceration lasted three hours. Then we added yeasts to the grape juice, so the alcoholic fermentation would begin. When the fermentation ended we racked the wine and continued with the maturation and care of it. We sent samples of grape must and wine on chemical analysis to the laboratory in Institute of agriculture and forestry Nova Gorica. The main physico-chemical parameters that we were observing were the alcohol content, pH of wine, total and the volatile acidity and the concentration of reducing sugars. Wine was sensory evaluated by the Bauxbaum method. Our wine belongs to the category of regional wines with recognized geographical indication. It's a semi-dry wine, easy to drink with gently pink color.
