Maryam Ahmed Picks: 5 Food-Friendly Rosés for Fall and Winter

food friendly rosé

By now, it’s safe to say that rosé season is every season. It’s true that rosé wine is a delightful sunny day sipper, but these five wines can go from poolside to fireside thanks to a range of styles. From dry and light to ripe and sweet, rosé offers plenty of options. And in the fall and winter, when temperatures are cooler, and we lean into warm and comforting foods, these food-friendly rosés are perfect!

When choosing a rosé to have with a meal, look to the wine’s structure. Grape, region, and winemaking style help determine components like acidity, body, and flavor – all of which help elevate a food experience.


Filipa Pato

3B Rosé Extra Brut, Beiras, Portugal 

A bottle of bubbly pink wine is what every fall table needs. This husband and wife team practices biodynamic farming and natural winemaking in the Beiras region of Portugal.

The wine is a blend of indigenous grapes, Baga (red grape) and Bical (white grape). Refreshing and fruity, the 3B is a perfect wine to start any fall feast.

Pro tip: Buy extra because if you’re hosting a party, this wine will be gone long before your intended pairing hits the table!

Pair it with a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich with spiced pumpkin soup #adulting.
