If you are looking for a recipe that works well with a medium-bodied rosé, you can begin to branch out and accompany it with some bolder flavors.
Drier medium-bodied rosé selections can be enjoyed alongside a taste of the Mediterranean, with flavors like chorizo and spiced lamb complementing its crisp taste. The spiced and rustic bites of Mediterranean food will explode on your tongue and complement the wine, making for a delicious meal.
You can also complement tastes like roasted garlic, onion, and fragrant herbs, such as rosemary and sumptuous saffron. You could try pairing with chicken dishes too - we’d recommend grilled or perhaps a tender lamb dish? Or how about a rich paella?
Tuck into this fresh seafood paella accompanied by a dash of saffron, juicy chunks of chorizo, and wedges of lemon. It is an excellent choice if you’ve got company and can feed a big group. This recipe serves four, but you can add or take away to the measurements as you please.

We recommend a more delicate and elegant full-bodied rosé with a choice of dishes such as lobster, tuna, or duck. Or perhaps you’re partial to a more full-bodied rosé that’s bursting with fruity notes and juicy tastes?
Pair the fuller selections with heartier dishes. Enjoying a chargrilled barbeque is a must in the warmer months, and what better way to soak up the sun and tantalize your tastebuds than with a tender, melt-in-the-mouth brisket.
