With her scientific background, Clem explains why their English Pink rosé is the perfect match for a traditional Christmas turkey with cranberry sauce: “Basically, you need to look at the pH scale measure of acidity which ranges from 1 to 14 - the lower the pH, the higher the acidity. Cranberry sauce is acidic with a pH around the 3.5 mark, and our English Pink wine matches up to that with a pH of 3.30.
“Acidic foods can be tricky to pair with wines because the acidity can actually make the wine taste bitter, sour or flat. However, if you choose a wine with a high acidity, like our English Pink rosé, it provides a counterbalance to foods like cranberry sauce. A high acid wine also cuts through rich, fatty foods, refreshing your palette - making this wine the perfect pairing for decadent Christmas fare.”
British rosé brand Pink & Co has created a luxurious dry rosé wine, English Pink - the perfect accompaniment to the ubiquitous cranberry sauce served alongside your traditional turkey.
The reason Pink & Co’s rosé has a high acidity is because of the cooler grape growing climate found in England.
