Granita originated in Sicily but has since become popular all around the Mediterranean basin on account of its freshness and simplicity of ingredients.

Rosé 101

A few tips on choosing the perfect rosé: the first thing to consider is whether you’d like dry wine or sweet wine, or perhaps something in between.

Dry rosés are great with light savoury dishes such as fish, seafood, eggs, tempura and salads. They are also wonderful on their own.

Off-dry rosés (meaning somewhat sweet) are great wellchilled and can be enjoyed on their own or with spicy or aromatic foods such as Pad Thai, sushi or chicken satays.

Very sweet rosés are best for light desserts, egg dishes such as custards or meringues and dishes with lots of fresh berries.

Another factor to consider is whether it’s still or sparkling. Sparkling rosés are incredibly versatile food wines and follow the same food pairing rules as the still versions above. Moreover, sparkling wines can elevate any meal. Even mid-week sushi becomes a celebration with a bottle of sparkling rosé.
