Pairs well with Smoked Sweet Onion Dip.
Summer is the rosé season and Barbecue doesn’t change this, if anything it augments it.
Light cranberry color, juicy strawberry-watermelon fruit aromas, nice mineral, nice lift of spring flowers and fresh zest from cara-cara oranges, tangy vanilla crème fraîche on strawberry shortcake! Refreshingly crisp and dry, mouth-watering actually. Great with almost any food, from sushi to salmon to BBQ.
The bold smoky flavors of the dip will meet their match in the big Carmenere from which this beautiful rose is made. The bright acidity will act as a foil to the luscious cheeses and help cleanse your palate for the next bite!
The other issues in true barbecue, besides the big flavors from the smoke, are all the sweet notes in the sauces. This is where Australian Shiraz and California Zin shine. Not only are they bold enough to stand up to the massive flavors of the smoke and sauce, there is enough fruit to compliment the sweet sauces.
