TRENDS FRESH, CRISP & IRRESISTIBLY ELEGANT: ONTARIO'S VQA ROSÉ WINES Whether you're searching for a refreshing summer sipper or exploring unexpected food pairings, look no further. Ontario's VQA rosé wines offer a diverse range of tantalizing options, from crisp and structured to soft and lush. The beautiful pink hue of rosé comes from the maceration of red varietals, such as Pinot Noir, Gamay Noir, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The maceration process of rosé (which is the length of time the juice is in contact with the skins) is much shorter than the maceration of reds - sometimes less than an hour. PERFECTLY PINK PAIRINGS LIGHTER AND FRUITIER: DRIER AND CRISPER: * Charcuterie and salty cheeses * Barbecued pork and chicken * Spicier foods, such as Thai or Indian * Seafood dishes - especially Bouillabaisse
