Serving suggestions

- Pair with upscale French-inspired bites like a warm slice of tartine topped with creamy Epoisses cheese and a drizzle of honey or fig jam—mirroring Mediterranean rosé terroirs and enriching the wine experience.
- Create a sparkling rosé spritz cocktail by topping the rosé with a splash of sparkling water and a few crushed fresh raspberries or pomegranate seeds for color and a refreshing bubble lift—ideal for casual brunches or garden parties.
- Use as a poaching liquid for stone fruit like peaches or plums gently infused with star anise and cinnamon served chilled alongside the wine for a harmonious dessert pairing.
- Present in double-walled glasses that maintain the wine's temperature longer while giving a modern sleek aesthetic perfect for trendy dinner events or intimate gatherings.
- For an unexpected savory pairing serve it with spicy grilled shrimp marinated in curry and minced vegetable salsa leveraging rosé’s versatility with lightly spiced dishes.
- Design a summer charcuterie board centerpiece featuring items like thinly sliced Serrano ham marcona almonds heirloom tomatoes with basil oil and mild Manchego cheese; arrange the rosé chilled in decorative wine pouches or mini carafes beside it for an inviting tapas-style experience.
- For special occasions freeze rosé into elegant ice cubes with finely chopped mint or lemon zest inside; add these to sparkling water or mild cocktails to gently infuse flavor without diluting.
These suggestions focus on fresh presentation ideas playful uses beyond drinking straight and complementary gourmet food pairings inspired by rosé’s style elevating enjoyment beyond standard serving norms.
Storage advice
To optimally store a dry rosé wine from 2019 maintain an unopened bottle temperature of about 50-55°F (10-13°C) which preserves its freshness without premature aging. Keep the temperature as steady as possible to avoid fluctuations that can harm the wine's integrity.
Store the bottle away from direct light especially UV rays as they can trigger chemical reactions that degrade the wine’s aromas and accelerate aging. A dark wine cellar an opaque wine fridge or shaded cabinets are suitable.
Seal integrity is crucial: a cork closure should be kept moist to maintain elasticity and prevent oxygen from seeping in which causes spoilage. This is best achieved by storing the wine horizontally keeping the cork in contact with the wine. Horizontal positioning also prevents cork shrinkage and is generally advised for long-term storage. Upright storage is acceptable for short-term but not recommended for extended periods.
Maintain a humidity level of 60-70% in the storage environment to prevent cork drying or mold growth on labels. If natural humidity is low or fluctuates consider using a hygrometer and humidifier to control it.
Avoid exposure to vibrations and strong odors. Store the wine away from heavy machinery or appliances that cause vibrations and away from strong-smelling substances as the cork can absorb odors affecting the wine quality.
For an opened bottle reseal tightly (using original cork or wine stopper) and refrigerate at 35-45°F (2-7°C) to slow oxidation. Consume within 2-3 days for best preservation of taste and freshness.
In summary on storage specifics for this dry rosé:
- Temperature: 50-55°F (10-13°C) unopened 35-45°F (2-7°C) opened
- Light: Store in the dark avoid UV exposure
- Bottle position: Horizontal (for cork sealing)
- Humidity: 60-70% to keep corks sealed properly
- Sealing: Keep cork moist reseal opened bottles tightly
- Vibration/odor: Avoid vibrations and strong smells
These measures will best maintain the wine’s quality and shelf life without compromising its delicate profile.
