Roseade Wine Sprit

Roseade Wine Sprit is sold as a four-pack and comes from Massachusetts. The name points to a rosé-style wine spritzer, and products in this category are typically light, lightly sparkling and low in alcohol. Expect pale pink color, red berry and citrus notes such as strawberry, raspberry or grapefruit, and a bright, crisp finish with little to no tannin or oak. The wine base and exact blend are not specified here, so treat those flavors as what the style usually delivers rather than a measured profile. Serve it well chilled, around 38 to 45°F, straight from the refrigerator or over ice. There is no need to decant. A stemless wine glass or a tall highball glass over ice suits it, and a lemon or lime wedge or a few fresh berries fit the flavors a spritz like this tends to have. If the pack is in cans, pour it into a glass to open up the aromas. Styles like this go well with salads, grilled chicken, shrimp, sushi, fresh cheeses and light picnic food, and the acidity handles mildly spicy dishes too. This is a drink-now product. It is made for freshness rather than cellaring, so keep it cold and drink it soon after purchase.
