Whether you are looking for something different this season or you want to put a summery spin on your red wine, you can’t go past rosé wines. When you order your wine online, be sure to include a few rosés now to enjoy during the warm summer months. Here are a few reasons why rosés are ideal for drinking now.
Perfect for Pairing with Variety of Foods
Unlike heavy red wines, a rosé suits a range of foods. Rosés are perfect for serving with a seafood meal; try a glass or two with lobster, seared salmon and tuna. Salads, light pasta and rice dishes are also good food choices for rosés.
Enjoy with Food or on its Own
Rosés can be enjoyed with a meal or as an aperitif. Sip on your rosé while you prepare or relax with friends and family before your meal is served. Serve your chilled rosé with some hors d'oeuvres to keep the hunger at bay before dinner is ready. Rosés compliment white-rinded cheeses such as Camembert and Brie.
Summer is Here
On a hot summer’s day or night, a chilled rosé will do wonders to keep you cool. Enjoy a bottle on the patio or take it to a picnic, it’s perfect drinking everywhere. If you’re a red wine lover during winter, a rosé is an ideal option because it doesn’t have the warmth and heaviness of red wine.
Mix it Up a Bit
What many don’t realise is rosés can be enjoyed as part of a refreshing cocktail. The aroma and flavour of rosés are a great base for cocktails. For a tasty sangria, start with a fruity rosé and add fresh orange juice, a splash of brandy and orange liqueur and finish with lemonade to fill the glass.
If you like strawberries mix your rosé with the syrup from a tin of strawberries, a spoonful of mango sorbet and a squeeze of fresh orange juice.
Rosewater pairs well with rosés so for an elegant drink for the ladies add a shot of rosewater and a dash of lime juice to your rosé.
Conditions Ripe for Rosés in Margaret River
The Margaret River region has ideal growing conditions for the grapes that go into making our rosés. With the ocean surrounding Margaret River and the Leeuwin current, frosts are rare, so the vines are protected in the winter months. The soils in the area are ideal for viticulture because they are permeable but also shed excess water quickly.
Make it fresh and fruity this summer. Order your wine online and make sure it’s a Margaret River rosé.
