Brunch is a true and simple pleasure, offering the opportunity to enjoy a leisurely start to the day with delicious food, good company and, unmissably, a refreshing glass of bubbly. While mimosas or Bloody Marys are the go-to choice for some brunch-goers, sparkling rosé brings a little elegance and sophistication to the table. With its delicate bubbles, vibrant colour, and delightfully fruity yet crisp flavour profile, sparkling rosé is the perfect brunch accompaniment.
Avocado Toast
Avocado Toast has become a brunch icon. The creamy, buttery texture of avocado pairs wonderfully with the acidity and effervescence of sparkling rosé. The wine’s crisp bubbles help to cut through the richness of the avocado and balance its flavour, with the light berry notes of the rosé flawlessly complementing the savoury, buttery flavours of the toast.
With the addition of a poached egg, the richness of the yolk adds an extra layer of indulgence, with the sparkling rosé providing a refreshing contrast. Whether you prefer to keep your avocado toast simple or enjoy dressing it up with chili flakes or feta cheese, sparkling rosé is the perfect pairing for this timeless brunch classic.
Shakshuka
Shakshuka, a traditional Mediterranean breakfast or brunch dish, is a perfect brunch choice to complement our Aphrodise sparkling rosé, given the wine’s roots in the Greek world. Aphrodise is produced from Greece’s noble and indigenous Xinomavro grape variety, the flavours of which blend effortlessly with Mediterranean cuisine.
Shakshuka is a hearty and flavourful dish of poached eggs in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce. It is a wonderful brunch option which pairs beautifully with sparkling rosé. The wine’s acidity helps to cut through the richness of the tomatoes and the eggs, while its fruitiness complements the spices in the sauce. The bubbles in the rosé help to cleanse the palate between bites, making it easier to savour the complex flavours of this indulgent brunch option.
Eggs Florentine
Featuring poached eggs, creamy spinach, and a rich mornay sauce, Eggs Florentine is a delicious French brunch dish which is perfectly complemented by the crisp acidity and fruitiness of sparkling rosé. The creamy texture of the mornay sauce and the spinach’s fresh, earthy flavour are elevated by the wine’s effervescence and refreshing acidity. The wine’s subtle berry notes add a delightful contrast to the rich flavours of the eggs, creating a harmony between sweet and savoury.
By adding a dash of fresh lemon juice to the mornay sauce, the juice’s tangy, citrusy zing will beautifully complement the wine’s crispness, making each bite and sip a slightly more elevated experience.
Berry Pancakes
Berry pancakes, with their sweet, fluffy texture and burst of fruity flavour, are an obvious match for sparkling rosé. Rosé wine’s bright berry notes, such as Aphrodise’s crisp apple and bright cherry flavours, mirror the sweetness of the pancakes and the fruitiness of the berries, creating a delicious, harmonious pairing. The wine’s acidity helps to balance the sugariness of the pancakes and syrup, while its effervescence keeps the palate refreshed between bites.
If you’re topping your pancakes and berries with whipped cream or a drizzle of fresh, organic honey, these additional flavours will elevate the pairing and add a new layer of complexity, a real treat for those with a particularly sweet tooth.
