Mallow Run Winery near Bargersville, Indiana, has selected the St. Vincent Foundation to receive its first donation of $5,000 from proceeds of its two PINK wines.

In July of 2009, Mallow Run released two rosé wines (one dry, one semi-sweet) with the intention of donating a portion of the proceeds from these wines to benefit breast cancer research and awareness.

Rosé wines are lightly colored pink wines made from red grape varieties. Red wines extract red color during fermentation with the red grape skins. Rose wines have little or no skin contact and so contain much less of the red pigments.

The dry version of PINK is made from Zinfandel grapes with aromas of strawberry and notes of red berry and pink grapefruit. The semi-sweet version of PINK is made from Syrah grapes and is loaded with strawberry and melon flavors. Both wines retail at the winery for $12.95. www.mallowrun.com
