The sun is here, the rosé is here! Enjoy your free evening on a terrace with a glass of rosé—it's finally happening again. Rosé has long been more than just an aperitif. It's prized in gastronomy for its ability to pair easily with a wide variety of dishes. Quality rosés are made in very different wine regions around the world and from completely different grape varieties. They have longer or shorter skin contact, and are aged in oak or not. Rosé can therefore be light, mineral, and delicately aromatic, or soft, round, and fruity, to full-bodied and even tannic. The color of the rosé depends on the grape variety, but also on the length of the skin contact.
Which rosé to choose for which dishes?
Light and mineral rosés: with notes of green herbs, grapefruit, strawberry.
Goes well with almost all salads, with or without goat cheese, and with simple meat dishes such as your hamburger on the barbecue.
Paradisi's tip: Villa Blanche Grenache: A typical Provence-style rosé. Light, subtle, and uncomplicated, yet with a kick. A blend of 70% Grenache Gris and 30% Grenache Noir. Pale pink in color, aniseed aroma, and exceptionally juicy and fruity (strawberry, citrus) on the palate.
Full-bodied, round rosés: with accents of red fruit, powerfully floral and slightly peppery.
To drink with spicy grilled chicken or grilled vegetables.
Paradisi's tip : Lomond Merlot Rosé: 100% Merlot grapes. With exuberant aromas of strawberry, cherry, rose, and spice.
Rich, full-bodied, lingering rosés: with notes of dark red berries, jam and pepper.
Drink with spicy dishes and even with red meat.
Paradisi's tip : Our own Pink Serines, made from 100% Syrah, in the most beautiful bottle in the world. Beautiful aromas of peach , red fruit, and lilac. Fleshy, fresh, delicate, and elegant.
