The Suffolk Red Rosé grape is a type of Vitis labrusca grape that is used to make red wine. The grape is native to Suffolk County, New York, and was first planted there in the early 1800s. The grape is known for its high sugar content and thick skin, which makes it ideal for making sweet, fruity wines. Suffolk Red Rosé wines are typically light in color and have a fruity, floral flavor. The grape is also known as the "slip skin" grape because the skin is very thin and prone to slipping off the flesh of the grape. This makes the grape less durable and more susceptible to diseases. The Suffolk Red Rosé grape is also a "teinturier" grape, meaning that the flesh of the grape is red or pink in color. Most red wine grapes are "non-teinturier" grapes, meaning that the flesh of the grape is white or pale in color. The Suffolk Red Rosé grape was once the most widely planted grape in Suffolk County, but its popularity has declined in recent years. The grape is still grown in small quantities in the county, and is used to make a limited amount of Suffolk Red Rosé wine each year.
