Food Pairings
The crisp acidity and lively tartness of this Brut Rosé would pair perfectly with a fresh tomato and watermelon salad with feta. Pair with a soft goat milk cheese and strawberry lavender jam. Try Korean style street tacos with spicy kimchi or seared duck breast with blood orange and star anise to highlight the pinot noir notes.
