Because there is such a wide range in styles, rosés have a wide range of pairing options. They are light and fresh like white wines but with some of the structure of a red — so they have the best of both worlds! This makes them extremely food-friendly. Rosés can be used for those hard- to-pair with dishes, such as beets or artichokes. Try to match the intensity of your rosé with the intensity of the dish. Pair lighter dishes like a fresh summer salad with feta and grilled peaches with a lighter rosé, such as a Pinot Noir rosé. For bolder dishes like a grilled Berkshire porkchop with cherry jus, look for a bolder and more deeply coloured rosé, such as a rosé from Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon. Whichever rosé you choose, you can rest assured in this market that it’s likely to be a great one! CHRONOS ROSÉ VQA The Syrah grapes used to make this rosé are from a spot overlooking the lake between Penticton and OK Falls. Aromas of watermelon, rhubarb and red berries lead the way to flavours of strawberry, cranberry and candied Meyer lemon. Canada, British
