Rose…how long to macerate the grapes?

A quote from a thread in Wine Berserkers: “Domaine Tempier gets all their color from 8 hr skin contact on about 20% of the grapes, the rest are pressed immediately”.

Tempier Rose is a great rose, made mostly from Mourvedre, I think. Mine will either be from Syrah or Zin. I have been wondering how long to let the grapes sit on the skins. Maybe I’ll try this.
