Pairing rosé with food:

The true test of a wine’s stamina lies in its abilityto complement the flavours of an array of dishes,and in the case of rosé, it’s dry and light enough to enjoy with a variety of foods.

For a real flavour burst, team it with zingy sweetand-sour pork, tangy tomato-based meals (even pizza), and all kinds of seafood, including sushi.

What’s more, the delicate flavours of rosés make them perfect for cooking. ‘They’re great in hearty stews and casseroles,’ says TASTE magazine’s Abigail Donnelly.
