There’s always a bottle or two of rosé on our table when the weather’s warm. Crisp, charming, and endlessly versatile, rosé wines are practically made for long lunches, sun-drenched evenings, and a bit of summer indulgence. But beyond the classic chilled pink aperitif, rosé becomes pure magic when matched with food.
From BBQ to picnic fare and everything in between, here’s how rosé brings delight to your summer bites.
🌿 BBQ + Rosé = Unexpected Perfection
Think elegance meets flame-grilled flavour:
- Grilled halloumi & watermelon skewers — Provence rosé lends a salty-sweet harmony. Try Val de Gilly Vie en R…
- Charred pork belly — a Spanish rosado adds bold berry depth. How about El Ninot de Paper Rosado
- Peach & burrata salad — Light but zesty and fruity rosé adds a zing of flavour try Adobe Reserva Organic Rosé
🐟 Let’s Talk Fish
Seafood and rosé is a love affair:
- Prawns, crab, and anything in a shell? Divine with a crisp Mediterranean rosé like Cotes du Thau
- Spiced salmon tacos — South African rosé brings spice-friendly acidity, we love Coterie by Wildeberg Rosé for an extra bite
- Grilled tuna Niçoise? Provence, of course. Marion by Val de Gilly is made for food
🍇 Tip: It goes where it grows—match regionally for impressive results.*
🍓 Don’t Forget Dessert
Summer’s berry abundance calls for juicy wine companions:
- Strawberries, raspberries, and cream — pair with a fruit-forward rosé that complements, not competes go crazy with Crazy Rosé with added fruit sweetness
Opposites attract, too. Don’t be afraid to play with bold or unexpected combos—you just might find your new favourite flavour match.
