Perfect wine pairing
More about this grape varietyCinsault de France
Subtle and distinctively fruity, a luminous rosé. This wine embodies the esthetics and warm light of the South of France. Its subtle charm is at work during all those magical times, chilled on a sailboat in the marina or, of course, for any Mediterranean meals. Fruity gooseberry/ pomegranate aromas and a smooth, lively personality are the essence of Cinsault, the joyful, delicious rosé. A sparkling, sublime pairing with a minty touch. The Two Cheese Cigarettes blend a crunchy yet smooth texture with the fresh flavor of mint leaves. Perfect for Cinsault rosé, whose aromatic freshness flawlessly complements these dishes, recalling the lighthearted lunches of summertime. The ideal match for grilled fish, such as Goatfish with Anis. Some pairings are classic yet right on the money, like a glass of Cinsault with Fillets of Goatfish with Anis. This snappy Mediterranean dish needs a lively, flavorful grape variety with a fresh finish. Its color also goes perfectly with the bright pink skin of the Goatfish.
