Springtime in your glass ! Spring is finally here! Time to put aside the heavy winter wines and indulge in light, fresh delights. Spring wines? They're fresh, light, and bring the sun into your glass. Think of wines that are young and playful, with a fragrance that transports you directly to a blooming garden.
White wines that welcome spring . Let's start with the white wines. Spring calls for Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, and Sauvignon Blanc. These grape varieties bring exactly the freshness and lightness we seek after the long winter. A glass of Chardonnay or a floral Gewürztraminer can also delight. Each of these varieties has its own way of welcoming spring.
Wine Spritzers: Spring in Sparkling Dress If you're looking for something truly refreshing, wine spritzers are your choice. Rosé spritzer, white wine spritzer with a splash of lemonade, or a classic red wine spritzer – each version is a light treat for sunny days.
What dishes go well with spring wines? Light dishes and spring wines are a match made in heaven. Imagine a crisp salad, fresh asparagus, or a tender fish dish – paired with a glass of the perfect wine. Heavenly!
Light red wines for warm evenings . There are also suitable spring wines for red wine lovers. Gaba do Xil Mencía and Bastión de la Luna are light red wines that usher in spring with notes of strawberry and raspberry. They are not too heavy and perfect for a relaxing evening on the terrace.
Your task for spring: Experiment with these tips and discover your own personal spring favorites. Whether you're exploring new grape varieties, switching to wine spritzers, or searching for the perfect wine to accompany your spring dishes, enjoy the variety and lightness of the season.
