Rosè Wines

It's always the right time to drink Rosé

Rosè wines can be so much more than an aperitif and their versatility gives you all sorts of options.

A key thing to consider when pairing rosé wines with food is that the wines can be made from all sorts of grape varieties, in different climates and in a range of styles – from varying maceration times to oak contact. This means that you have a lot of choice, so try to think about the character of the grape varieties that have been used, and the intensity, structure and acidity level of the wine – as you would in most food pairing situations.What puts rosé wine into the gastronomic league is that ‘it can be one of the best partners for a wide range of food,’ wrote food and wine expert Fiona Beckett, in an article on matching rosé wines with food in the August 2017 issue of Decanter magazine.
