The "direct pressing method" is a way of making rosé wine, using black grapes (grapes for red wine) and the same brewing method as for white wine.
To make white wine, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, then immediately pressed, minimizing contact between the skins and seeds and the juice, and only the juice is fermented.
When rosé wine is made by direct pressing, the color of the skins is transferred slightly, resulting in a lighter color. Other methods for making rosé wine include the "saignée method," "blended wine method," and "assemblage method."
