Blush

A term formerly used in California-USA for a white wine made from light-coloured red wine varieties (French: Blanc de noirs) such as White Cabernet (also Cabernet Blanc), White Zinfandel or White Grenache. These wines, usually medium sweet, have a tangy flavour with a higher carbon dioxide content. Today, however, the name is generally used for very light-coloured rosé wines. The term vin gris is also commonly used for dry versions.
