The popular pink drink synonymous with summer is delicious with a wide range of food. Here’s how to pair AIX Rosé with shareable foods inspired by the flavors of Provence.
AIX Rosé and sunshine go hand-in-hand this season.
At every summer social gathering, a chilled, crisp rosé can be served and shared. Enjoyed from noon till night, it is no wonder this wine selection is the ultimate party accoutrement. The taste profile of AIX Rosé makes it a versatile wine boasting aromatic depth that can enhance any meal.
For over 15 years, winemaker Eric Kurver has continued to craft the award-winning AIX Rosé (pronounced ‘ex’) in the heart of southern France. Thanks to cutting-edge technology and a 140-year-old Provence vineyard, the Maison Saint Aix estate delivers a premium bottled rosé hallmarked by the Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes of its iconic terroir.
Maison Saint Aix is located in the iconic rosé wine region of Provence, France.
Kurver details the distinguishing characteristics of his creation, made with love, passion and pride, “AIX Rosé has a hypnotizing pink color. A swirl reveals red berries, citrus and white peach aromas. The wine is crisp with bright freshness and minerality, culminating in a memorable finish for every occasion.”
More than a wine, AIX Rosé is a conduit for connection, elevating every alfresco experience with the spirit of Provence. Be it a weekend rooftop brunch or backyard soiree, this pale pink-hued sip is best served outdoors as you sit back and enjoy the warmth of the season.
Below is a simple guide to a three-course meal with AIX Rosé to inspire your next summer get-together.
Chilled oysters on the half shell are an excellent party starter while the rosé flows.
The crisp acidity of AIX Rosé makes it an ideal pairing for briny shellfish such as oysters. Bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the vineyards of Provence are influenced by the salty sea breezes. Those who favor the salty tang of oysters will appreciate how AIX Rosé’s mineral finish complements the oceanic flavors.
Round out your guests’ palate with seafood and this salmon-colored libation.
AIX Rosé’s versatility shines when served with flavors of the sea, offering a refreshed and balanced pairing. From thin slices of raw fish like nigiri to grilled seafood like salmon or shrimp plated alongside roasted vegetables, these fresh entrees harmonize with the fruity flavor and acidity of a Provençal rosé. For those who prefer a heartier summer pairing, the lively flavors of AIX Rosé also pair perfectly with barbecue.
Customize this French-inspired dessert with the sweetness of red berries and white peaches or the zing of lemon.
The French master the aromas of fruit in both their rosé and pastry creations. To amplify the notes of ripe red berries and white peaches in AIX Rosé, end the meal with a Provence-inspired fruit tart. Or, opt for a citrus compote via lemons, which, like Maison Saint Aix’s grapes, grow in southern France. Meringue can top this layered summer treat for added creaminess, complementing the crisp finish AIX Rosé delivers in every glass.
Should your party be sipping rosé all day, it is best to ensure you have plenty of pink to go around. Opt for the 3L, 6L or 15L Nebuchadnezzar bottle of AIX Rosé, equivalent to 20 bottles, so no one goes thirsty.
