Recommended Pairing Dishes

Young wines usually have a higher acidity to its taste, accompanied with fruititness and lower, smoother tannins. A young rose requires similar food pairings that compliments its characteristics. Seafood dishes such as pan-roasted fish or prawns and squids that has a mild natural sweetness to its meat helps elevate the sweetness of the wines. To our surprise, Asian dishes too have a place in amongst excellent Rose food pairings; Dim sum, braised tofus, rice and starchy noodles just to name a few. 

As Rose's have a sparking sweetness to them, pairing with mild spicy food helps cut spice levels, so does fried chicken and roasted pork dishes.
