As winter passes and the blossoms start to open, it’s time to enjoy everything that’s great about spring, including the best rosé wine. With its versatile flavors, lightness, and ability to pair with virtually any dish, rosé ticks all the boxes.
This spring is the ideal time to indulge in some delicious pink blush. Here are five delicious types of rosé to enjoy as the weather warms up.
Grenache
Fruity yet dry, Grenache is bursting with strawberry and watermelon. As the warm weather brings back memories of summer, there’s nothing quite like a glass of Grenache to accompany an outdoor meal.
Salads are a great pairing partner for Grenache and it goes especially well with melon, prosciutto, and baby leaf spinach.
Zinfandel
This sweet, fruity, rosé is a firm favorite in the United States, with several excellent California wineries specializing in Zinfandel. Berries tend to dominate the palate, with a refreshing sweetness that makes this wine ideal for casual dining, picnics, or after-work drinks.
Zinfandel’s off-dry character makes it the ideal pairing partner for spicy meals. You’ll enjoy this wine with South Asian and Southeast Asian curries, spicy seafood, and Mexican food.
Tavel Rosé
If you enjoy a glass of full-bodied enjoyment, Tavel may be the best rose wine for you this spring. With its strong red wine character, Tavel is easy drinking yet full-bodied. This smooth, fruity dry rosé pairs extremely well with meaty dishes and tomato-based pasta dishes.
Sangiovese
The pride of Italy, Sangiovese wine is fruity, acidic, and refreshing - just what you want on a warm spring day. Sangiovese’s mix of fruity and fresh flavors pairs well with salads, pasta dishes, meat and cheese platters, and grilled meats. It also compliments seafood very well - a truly versatile springtime wine.
Tempranillo
No list of spring wines would be complete without Tempranillo. This fruity Spanish rosé is bursting with Mediterranean sunshine, with plenty of fruit and spice on the palate to keep things interesting.
Like Sangiovese, Tempranillo is a great wine to enjoy with springtime feasts. Its delicate, fruity flavor goes well with meat dishes and grilled seafood. Anchovies, olives, chili and other Spanish flavors will pair extremely well too.
With some of the world’s best rose wine available from various online wine clubs, you’ll have your pick of the best blush this spring.
