What grapes are rose wines made from?

Many rose wines, including ours, are made from red grapes. The grapes are crushed and fermented with skin contact (allowing the grape skins to mingle with the juice). Once the winemaker is happy with the colour and flavour, the skins are removed and the wine is left to ferment the rest of the way. This gives the wine its delicate pink colour.
