When choosing the ideal summer wine, there are a few things to consider. First up, anything pulled straight from the fridge is an easy win, which is why you can’t go wrong with bubbles of any kind. Prosecco is a no-brainer: it’s typically dry, light, fruity and easy on the wallet; while a blanc de blanc, made using only chardonnay grapes, will hit the summer brief with its typically crisp and clean profile: notes of citrus and green apple, a touch of minerality.
As far as white wines go, opt for styles that are crisp, fruity and unoaked, such as sauvignon blanc, riesling and pinot grigio. Wines with high acidity will invigorate the palate, creating that mouthwatering, lip-smacking effect that feels refreshing on a hot summer day.
