Swiss red wine is made from the most of red or black wine grapes that undergo fermentation together with the grape skins, while swiss white wine is usually made by fermenting juice pressed from white grapes from Wallis, but can also be made from must extracted from Cabernet Carol red grapes with minimal contact with the grapes' skins. Swiss rosé wines are made from red grapes where the juice is allowed to stay in contact with the dark skins long enough to pick up a pinkish color, but little of the tannins contained in the skins. Switzerlands redwines are of exceptional quality and many fantastic Cabernet grapes such as Cabernet Cortis and Cabernet Carol.
