1. Light Salads: Pair this wine with fresh green salads that include ingredients like strawberries, goat cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette. The acidity in the wine will complement the tanginess of the dressing and the sweetness of the berries.
2. Seafood: This rosé is a great match for seafood, especially dishes like grilled shrimp, seared scallops, or a light seafood paella. The citrus notes in the wine enhance the flavors of the seafood.
3. Grilled Chicken or Turkey: The subtle sweetness and acidity of LionSpirit Summer Blush make it a perfect pairing for grilled poultry. Try it with a grilled chicken salad or a turkey burger with cranberry sauce.
4. Vegetarian Dishes: Opt for vegetable-based dishes such as grilled vegetables, ratatouille, or a fresh Caprese salad. The freshness of the vegetables will harmonize with the light and crisp character of the wine.
5. Soft Cheeses: Soft and creamy cheeses like Brie, Camembert, or a fresh mozzarella pair beautifully with this rosé. The creamy texture of the cheese balances the crispness of the wine.
6. Spicy and Aromatic Dishes: The wine’s fruity and crisp profile can also balance moderately spicy dishes, such as Thai curry, spicy sushi rolls, or a zesty gazpacho.

These food pairings emphasize the versatility of LionSpirit Summer Blush, making it a fantastic choice for various culinary experiences, especially during the warmer months when light and refreshing meals are preferred.

At LionSpirit Winery, we take pride in crafting wines that capture the essence of our local terroir while celebrating the diverse grape varieties that thrive in our vineyards. Our Summer Blush rosé is a perfect example of this philosophy, blending Grenache Noir and Maratheftiko grapes to create a wine that is as refreshing as a Mediterranean breeze.

Harvested at the peak of their freshness, the Grenache Noir and Maratheftiko grapes are carefully selected to ensure a balance of flavor and acidity that is crucial for a premium rosé. The grapes undergo a short period of maceration to extract their vibrant color and a spectrum of delicate fruity flavors.

Fermentation is carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromatic purity of strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of citrus—flavors that define this charming rosé. Post-fermentation, the wine is quickly bottled to maintain its characteristic freshness and zest.

LionSpirit Summer Blush boasts a pale pink hue, with a nose that offers an enticing blend of summer fruits and subtle floral hints. On the palate, it is crisp and elegantly dry, with a balanced acidity that makes it extremely food-friendly and perfect for warm-weather sipping. The finish is clean, with a lingering taste of fresh berries and a touch of minerality.

This rosé is crafted not only to refresh but to pair beautifully with a wide range of dishes—from seafood and salads to light pasta and grilled poultry. It’s a testament to the joy of summer dining and an invitation to explore the playful side of our winemaking.

Enjoy LionSpirit Summer Blush chilled, as a standalone pleasure or accompanied by good food and great company.
