Sparkling and spicy Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc reigns supreme among summer wines. Sauvignon Blanc is known for its lively acidity and refreshing citrus flavor, making it a good choice for warm weather. Fresh notes of grapefruit, lemon and tropical fruit make it an excellent companion to seafood dishes, light salads or enjoyed on its own. Chill a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, preferably from a cool climate region, and let its spicy character enliven your taste buds. In our e-shop, you can choose from New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, from more pronounced with a tropical aroma to more delicate with a citrus aroma .

Rosé: the quintessence of summer wine
No summer wine list would be complete without the ever-popular rosé wine. This pink beauty offers a wide range of styles, from dry to slightly sweet, making it a versatile choice for a variety of occasions. Rosé with a delicate taste of strawberries, watermelon and floral notes is the embodiment of summer in a glass. You can combine it with grilled vegetables, sausages or simply enjoy it while sunbathing. For an authentic and elegant experience, choose a French-style rosé from our winemaker who has spent several years in the South of France.

Light and refreshing white wines
For those who prefer a lighter touch, consider exploring other white wine varieties. Riesling with its lively acidity and fruity aroma is a fantastic choice for summer. Look for a slightly dry or dry Riesling to balance the sweetness of summer fruit and complement savory dishes. Pinot Gris is also an excellent choice, offering freshness, citrus notes and a thirsty finish.

Sparkling pleasure: sparkling wines
There's something undeniably festive about sipping sparkling wine in the summer months. Whether it's Prosecco, Cava or Champagne, the effervescence and festive character of these wines will elevate any occasion. Enjoy a glass of bubbly on its own or create refreshing summer cocktails like a mimosa or an Aperol spritz. Fresh bubbles and lively acidity make sparkling wines a refreshing and uplifting choice for summer gatherings.

Cool reds: lighter options for warm evenings
Even red wine lovers can find solace in the summer with the right choice. Choose lighter red wines that can be chilled and offer a refreshing touch. A prime example is Beaujolais, which is made from Gamay grapes. Its fruity and bright character, together with a slight chill, make it a pleasant choice for warm evenings. Another option is a chilled bottle of Pinot Noir , a light red wine that offers a wonderful balance of fruitiness and acidity.
