Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What makes a wine part of the Popular Rosé collection?
A: Popular Rosé is a mix of Canadian rosés that tend to be easy to like and easy to serve. Think bright fruit, fresh acidity, and a clean finish, usually on the dry side. It is the style I reach for when I want a low-stress bottle that still feels thoughtful.
Q: Is Popular Rosé sweet or dry?
A: Most rosé in this style is dry or just slightly off-dry, so it tastes refreshing, not sugary. If you like crisp whites, lean dry; if you prefer a softer, fruitier feel, go slightly off-dry. When in doubt, chill it well and it will taste fresher and less sweet.
Q: I usually drink red wine, will I still enjoy rosé?
A: You might, especially if you like lighter reds like Pinot Noir or Gamay. Rosé gives you red-berry flavours without the heavier tannin, so it feels smoother and more summery. If big, oaky reds are your usual thing, pick a deeper-coloured rosé for a bit more weight.
Q: What food pairs best with Popular Rosé?
A: Rosé is a weeknight hero, it handles salads, sushi, grilled chicken, salmon, and snacky boards without fuss. It also works with salty, crispy comfort food, poutine is genuinely fun with a cold, dry rosé. If the dish has lemon, herbs, or a bit of spice, rosé usually behaves.
Q: Is rosé just a mix of red and white wine?
A: Usually, no. Most rosé gets its colour from brief contact with red grape skins, kind of like a quick steep, so you get pink colour and berry notes without deep tannin. Blending red and white is uncommon in still wines, so it is not the standard method.
