Which tipple to choose for summer
The summer months require a different approach to wine. We’re more likely to want something refreshing, or to mix it with soda water for a spritzer. Also, even staunch red wine-lovers often drift towards a white or a rose as the temperatures rise. Look for a dry white with high acidity, a light to medium body. If you favour sweetness try to make sure it also has high acidity. Look for fruity notes, particularly apple and citrus, and stay away from fullbodied chardonnays. Try Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and Some folks just love their reds even in summer. Sauvignon Blanc. A more unusual option is Albariño, However, avoid heavy, full-bodied varieties unless a beautiful refreshing Spanish wine. you want to feel sleepy and dehydrated. Look for Rosés are fresh-tasting because they are meant to be lighter reds that are best served chilled, with low drunk young. They tend to be fruity and vary from tannin and high acidity. Cinsault is probably my sweeter to dry. Either work nicely for a summer day, favourite summer red on account of its fruitiness. and sparkling rosés are particularly pretty and festive It’s nicely high in acidity too. Frappato is also a good for summer celebrations. Try Grenache rosé served summer choice with low tannins and a fresh taste. cold for a perfect crisp blend of tannins and acidity. Lambrusco can be sneered at in some circles but it’s Sangiovese rosé is slightly sweeter and fruiter and actually the perfect bubbly sweeter red for summer.
