Rosé wine is one of the most versatile styles when it comes to food pairing, offering the freshness of white wine with the fruit-forward character of red. Whether dry, off-dry, or sparkling, rosé can complement a wide variety of dishes, from light appetisers to heartier mains. Its crisp acidity and delicate fruit profile make it a go-to for those looking to elevate their dining experience without overpowering the food.
Fresh seafood & shellfish
Dry, pale rosés—like those from Provence—are a natural match for seafood. Their crispness and minerality work beautifully with fresh oysters, prawns, grilled fish, and ceviche. The bright acidity balances the briny, delicate flavours of the sea without overwhelming them.
Cheese & charcuterie
Rosé pairs exceptionally well with cheese and cured meats. A medium-bodied rosé complements creamy cheeses like Brie and Camembert, while dry, citrusy rosés cut through the richness of aged cheeses like Manchego or Parmigiano-Reggiano. Pair with prosciutto, salami, or chorizo for a balanced combination of saltiness and fruitiness.
Spicy & aromatic dishes
Rosé’s refreshing character makes it a great companion for dishes with a bit of spice. Thai curries, Indian tandoori dishes, and Mexican tacos all benefit from the fruit-forward notes and cooling acidity of a well-chilled rosé.
Grilled meats & vegetables
Rosé’s versatility extends to the grill. A richer, darker rosé—such as a Spanish Garnacha rosé—can stand up to smoky grilled meats, lamb chops, or barbecued vegetables. The fruity notes balance out the charred flavours, creating a delicious contrast. Whether you're enjoying a picnic, a seafood feast, or a summer barbecue, there’s a rosé to match the occasion.
