What Foods Go Best With Rosé Wine?

Rosé Features and Food Pairings

Rosé wines welcome fun times, appetizers, casual foods, and light fare. The versatility of rosé might come as a surprise, but rosé can provide the flavor of red wine in a lighter-bodied form with fewer tannins. Remember to serve chilled and consider the intensity of the rosé as you make meal decisions.

A rosé wine is pink, a color gained from exposure to the red wine skins from the grapes used to create the wine. From Pinot Noir to Cabernet Sauvignon, any red wine grape can make a rosé, making rosé varietals as diverse as red wine choices. The flavor profile of rosé wines often displays red fruit, root veggies, citrus, earthiness, florals, oakiness, and deeper flavors including unexpected notes of bacon or hamburger.

Pork and Rosé

Pepperoni, prosciutto, bacon, chops, and other pork options welcome the fruity brilliance of certain rosés. From pizza to ribs or charcuterie boards, combine pork, rosé, and mild cheeses for a surefire winner.

Mediterranean Cuisine and Rosé

Seafood, vegetables, and herbaceous flavors found in Mediterranean food make it delicious and create an ideal counterpoint for rosé wines. Choose fuller flavored rosés so that the food’s profile doesn’t overwhelm the wine.

Cheese and Rosé

White cheeses are mild, so a good rule of thumb when pairing cheese and rosé is to go with white cheeses like mozzarella, Brie, feta, goat cheese, or even blue cheese.

Salad and Rosé

From the foundational lettuce of a salad to the various toppings that you choose, every ingredient of a green salad will complement rosé. Enjoy your favorite salad and your favorite wine for a light and refreshing, delightful meal.

Fruity Desserts and Rosé

Fruit-forward, sweet ross pair with fruit desserts perfectly. Be careful to verify that the wine is sweeter than the dish to avoid the wine having a disappointingly tart taste. When the wine works for the dish, both benefit.
