Aldi Wine Whisperer Reveals Strawberry Trick for Upgrading Your Rosé

- Sam Caporn, known as the Mistress of Wine, suggests strawberries enhance rosé
- Highlights her preferred selections from Aldi's Spring-Summer Rosé collection
With the arrival of summer and International Rosé Day on the horizon, Aldi and wine aficionado Sam Caporn unveil a refreshing way to elevate your rosé game: adding strawberries. Whether muddled or sliced, these juicy berries harmonize with the fruity notes of rosé, offering a playful twist.
Sam Caporn, sharing her expertise, states, "Popping a strawberry or two into a glass of rosé is a simple but effective way to enhance the red berry notes found in so many popular rosés. This works in just the same way as adding cucumber or mint to a G&T – a classic, foolproof pairing. Aroma is as important as taste, as the two combine to create flavour. A strawberry helps bring out those juicy red fruit notes beautifully. If you like your rosé on ice – known as a ‘rosé piscine’ – try freezing strawberry slices in ice cubes. It keeps your wine chilled and looks gorgeous too."
Aldi's rosé selection includes vibrant and modern options from lesser-known areas like Bulgaria, Spain, and Austria, chosen for their crisp appeal.
