This spring, Sydney’s harbourside suburb of Rose Bay offers a lush escape into Mediterranean delights with the Rosé Bay long lunch experience at Martina.
This unique dining affair, available every Sunday from 20th October through 1st December, promises a culinary journey through Italy and France with a spectacular four-course lunch, each dish thoughtfully paired with some of France’s finest rosé wines.
Flávio Carnevale, the mastermind behind Martina, has crafted a menu that seamlessly marries the rich flavours of Italian cuisine with the elegance of French rosés. The collaboration features exquisite selections such as Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé, Sieur D’Arques Sparkling Rosé, Lyv Rosé, and Domaine De La Croix Le Cap, all of which enhance the dining experience with their vibrant, refreshing notes.
As you settle in for this gourmet journey, the starter presents a choice of Carpaccio, Prosciutto, or Caprese salad, perfectly complemented by the crisp Domaine de la Croix Le Cap. This lively rosé balances the savory notes of the dishes, setting the stage for a tantalising meal.
Next, the pasta course invites you to savour either Linguine Crab, Carbonara, or Puttanesca Vegana, each paired with the light and refreshing Lyv Rosé. This wine’s subtle charm makes it an ideal accompaniment, enhancing the flavours of the pasta with its effervescent profile.
For the main course, diners can choose between Pesce and Bistecchina, accompanied by the illustrious Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé. Known for its bright acidity and rich flavors, this rosé creates a harmonious and elevated pairing with the main dishes, ensuring a memorable culinary experience.
Concluding the lunch on a sweet note, the dessert options of Crostata or Raspberry Trifle are beautifully paired with Sieur d’Arques Sparkling Rosé. The delicate bubbles of this wine introduce a sense of harmony and lightness, while its nectarine notes provide a refreshing brightness to end the meal with elegance.
Carnevale shares his excitement for the collaboration, stating, “I’m beyond excited to bring the elegance of these French rosés to our venue to create a perfect harmony between the finest Mediterranean flavours. Our fresh, authentic Italian dishes are beautifully complemented by the vibrant, refreshing notes of these French rosés, making for an unforgettable culinary experience.”
Priced at $107 per person, the Rosé Bay long lunch is not only a celebration of culinary heritage but also a tribute to the shared warmth and beauty of Italian and French cuisines. For those eager to extend the experience, the featured rosés are available for purchase at Dan Murphy’s, allowing guests to relive the magic at home.
