Blanc de noir

Blanc de noir translates from French to "white from black". These are red grapes that are processed like white grapes, making a white wine. The explanation for this is that the juice, just as well as the pulp of most grape berries is white, no matter the skin's colour, as the colour of the berry sits in the berry's skin. If the juice is separated from the skins before fermentation, white wine is obtained.
