36 | June/July 2018 — Premiere Issue Wine Rosé-Coloured Glasses The Trending Wine for Summer eatdrink.ca |@eatdrinkmag by GARY KILLOPS Over the last few summers rosé wines have been gaining interest from savvy wine drinkers. The LCBO reports that rosé wine sales have jumped 17 per cent to $46 million in the last two years. And most of this is not the massproduced sweet white zinfandel that gave rosé a bad reputation. Many of these rosés are dry. They are excellent summertime sippers and perfect for many summer food pairings, such as salads, light pastas, spiced curries and rice dishes, shellfish, grilled fish, fried perch, feta, and fresh goat cheeses. Rosé will often work well when a red or white wine might be too big for the dish. Dry rather than sweet is the difference in these rosés, and with elevated acidity that supports the clean, crisp and refreshing finish. This is summertime in a glass. Here are a half dozen (five Ontario rosés and one from France) that I recommend you try this summer. All are under $20 and are available at many LCBO Vintages locations. Gérard Bertrand 2017 Côte des Roses Rosé (VINTAGES #373985, $18.95) — Made in France’s Languedoc region from grenache, syrah and cinsault grapes. Light salmon colour. Strawberry, red cherry and red currant fruit aromas. Rose petal floral notes. The red fruit follows through on the palate with added grapefruit and lemon notes. Dry, crisp with a lingering finish. Take note of the interesting rose-moulded bottom of the bottle. Malivoire 2016 Ladybug Rosé (VINTAGES #559088, $16.95) — The leader of the pack, this is Ontario’s most popular and best-selling rosé. Malivoire has been producing Ladybug rosé for almost 20 years now. Made from 60% cabernet franc, 20% pinot noir and 20% gamay grapes grown in the Niagara Peninsula. Red cherry, strawberry, raspberry and green apple.
