Any seasoned sommelier can attest that the refreshing, fruity taste of sparkling rosé pairs delightfully with a huge variety of dishes. From dinner parties and celebrations to romantic date nights at home, enhance your next dining experience by expertly pairing any of the following foods with a bottle of light and zesty Aphrodise sparkling rosé.
Seafood
If you’re looking to construct a dinner around your favourite sparkling rosé, seafood should be at the top of your list. The elegance of sparkling rosé is a perfect match for the delicate textures and flavours of seafood. Pink fish, especially salmon, is a joyful and visually striking accompaniment to this type of wine, whereas the sharp, briny flavour of oysters creates a well-balanced contrast to sparkling rosé’s luxurious smoothness. Other seafood options that would make a perfect choice include shrimp, scallops, and langoustine.
Cheese and Charcuterie
Perfect for summertime garden parties and romantic spring picnics, the fresh but salty flavours of a well-curated cheese and charcuterie board can complement the crisp fruitiness of sparkling rosé excellently. Incorporate soft, creamy cheeses such as goat cheese, camembert, and brie, as well as delicately spiced meats such as chorizo, serrano, and prosciutto, into your charcuterie board to harmonise flavour profiles perfectly with this delightful variety of sparkling wine.
Summer Salads
Fresh, citrusy summer salads pair effortlessly with a chilled glass of sparkling rosé. At your next barbecue or garden party, get adventurous with your salad by studding it with jewel-like pomegranate seeds or adorning it with sweetened fennel fronds or cherry tomatoes. These honeyed, juicy flavours complement the crispness and aromatics of sparkling rosé flawlessly. Alternatively, celebrate the delicious freshness of Greek cuisine by combining cucumber slices, green bell pepper, olives, and feta cheese to create a medley of traditional Mediterranean flavours.
Grilled Vegetables
Grilled vegetables and sparkling rosé create a symphony of earthiness and acidity. The balanced duality of these unique flavour profiles creates a stirring and unforgettable dining experience. For a dreamy Mediterranean feast, enjoy a crisp, cold glass of sparkling rosé under the balmy summer sun with grilled aubergine, courgette, and bell peppers, drizzled in a herby lemon dressing or an acidic touch of balsamic glaze. The versatility of sparkling rosé elevates the earthy, nutty taste of traditional vegetable dishes to unmissable heights.
Fruity Desserts
Foods need not be salty and savoury to pair well with sparkling rosé. In fact, a sparkling rosé with delicious, fruity notes will enhance the natural sweetness of a well selected fruity dessert perfectly. In spring and summer, consider light desserts such as pavlova or lemon tart, and in autumn and winter, indulge in spiced rhubarb crumble or poached pears with cardamon ice cream: the perfect sweet courses to accompany a chilled bottle of sparkling rosé at your next dinner party or celebration.
