Ros\u00e9 is a wine varietal shrouded in myth and misconception about when and how it should be enjoyed.

There are way too many rules and myths when it comes to drinking ros\u00e9, so we are here to bust them and tell you that if you like it, drink it, no matter the season.\"fleur<\/p>\n

Myths about Ros\u00e9: You can’t drink Ros\u00e9 in Winter<\/h4>\n

One of the most common myths governing ros\u00e9 is that you can only drink pink wine in the summer. Ros\u00e9 sales boom come springtime and plummet as soon as the weather starts to shift. Why? Our taste buds don\u2019t change with the weather!<\/p>\n

While its notes of red berries and florals do lend ros\u00e9 to being the perfect accompaniment to pool-side braais, lazy Sunday lunches (or brunches), and picnics on Bakoven beach, we are here to tell you that its potential reaches farther and wider than just summery days.<\/p>\n

Ros\u00e9 can be enjoyed all year round and actually pairs very well with heavier, wintery meals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With its slight spiciness, acidic notes and hints of strawberry and juicy blackberry fruit, the Fleur Du Cap Chardonnay\/Pinot Noir is the perfect ros\u00e9 for both summer and winter. It holds its own against rich, wintery meals, and its crispness pairs well with a spicy curry or stew. Ros\u00e9 also reminds us of lighter, summery days so why not drink it in the dead of winter to lift our spirits a bit.<\/p>\n

Myths about Rose: Ros\u00e9 doesn’t age<\/h4>\n

Ros\u00e9 doesn\u2019t have to be drunk as soon as you come back from the bottle store. It ages well and grows in complexity, so those bottles you bought at the beginning of summer but never quite got to don\u2019t have to go to waste. Allow them to mature and develop in flavour. They will be even better when pairing them with a more robust meal during winter.<\/p>\n

Do us a favour, at your next (small) dinner party, instead of asking your guests if they would like \u2018red or white’ with dinner, try and add a ros\u00e9 to your offering as well.<\/p>\n

Ros\u00e9 works very well as a food pairing wine, as it’s naturally crisp and acidic which allows it to complement richer flavours without overpowering the dish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wintery meals are often too heavy for a white, but too light for a red and this is where ros\u00e9 offers a perfect balance between the two. Fleur Du Cap\u2019s Chardonnay\/Pinot Noir Ros\u00e9 delivers a spicier aroma that will pair well with a fillet steak<\/a> or cassoulet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
