Juicy Rosés + Decadent Dip Rosé combines the juicy berry notes of a red with the fresh tree- and citrus fruit notes of a white. What makes this match work is that the rich, but tery schmear carries bold seasoning (garlic, herbs, salt) and fatty goodness (butter, oil, nuts), creating a texture and flavour bomb. A juicy rosé with a nice chill offers contrasting fruitiness to the smoky, earthy tones.

Stoneleigh Lighter Rosé LCBO 24081, $20.95 Pinot Noir is a contributor to this blend, which is light and delicate yet juicy with tree fruit, red berries and a touch of apple and peach. It’s lower in alcohol, too, which makes it food‑friendly and approachable.

Cono Sur Bicicleta Pinot Noir Rosé LCBO 318014, $14

This is floral and bright on the nose, delivering precise red currant and cranberry fruit in a light-bodied structure. Serve cool to accentuate the berries and enjoy that dry finish, which goes so well with food and readies your palate for more.
