Rosé is a pink, light, refreshing variation on white wine which icorporates some of the color from red grapes skins but not enough to qualify as a red wine. And actually, it´s no longer just a summery tipple to enjoy on the patio but a year-round favorite among wine lovers of all ages. And for the right reasons: besides being refreshing, rosé is versatile; can be enjoyed with a variety of foods; and is always available in every wine store.
Rosé is best served chilled, at 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit (10-16 Celsius), and served in a variety of glasses, but one with a tulip shape is ideal for showcasing wine´s aromas and flavors. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of foods, such as light appetizers, salads, and seafood dishes; it´s also a popular choice for brunches and picnics. Don’t forget to pair the wine with food that complements the wine flavors. For example, a light rosé with delicate fruit flavors would go well with a salad or appetizer. A more full-bodied rosé with ripe fruit flavors would pair well with grilled fish or chicken. And remember to remove the wine from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving to bring it to room temperature. Do not overchill the wine, as this will mute the flavors, but do serve it in a chilled glass.
