If you want to serve the perfect bottle of rosé with your meal, it’s important to understand that rosé wine is just as diverse as white and red varieties. Here are some important tips to keep in mind when it comes to pairing.

Light dry and off-dry

If you would like to serve a light, dry rosé, you should consider pairing it with light salads, rice dishes, seafood or a light pasta dish. Off-dry rosé wine work well with dishes that are somewhat spicy but not too hot as well as light salads and rice dishes.

Medium dry

If you have a medium dry rosé, you can enjoy it with the same foods as your light dry rosé but you can also enjoy it as a dessert wine or with a spicy meal. They are extremely versatile which is why they are such popular meal companions.

Fruity varieties

Your fruity rosé wine is best paired with seafood with a strong flavour, like lobster or tuna. It is also a great companion when serving duck and cheeses with a white rind, like Camembert or Brie. These wines are higher in alcohol content which makes them great for foods with a stronger flavour, like curry.

Now that you have a few options for each type of rosé wine, all you need is to decide what you want to serve for dinner. Make sure that you consider your first course, second and your dessert before choosing the right wine to go with your meal.
