Different types of wine are suitable for different meals as well as seasons. If you are looking for the perfect bottle to serve during the spring season, here are some great options.
Sauvignon Blanc and blends from South Africa are of the highest quality and beautifully refreshing for this time of year. Pair any of these wines with foods like goats cheese, grilled fish, and other seafood.
Grüner Veltliner is a delightfully sophisticated choice and can be paired with Asian flavours like noodle dishes and spring rolls. Albariño is a lovely Spanish wine perfect for pairing with light fish dishes and shellfish, as well as spring soups.
Lightly oaked Chardonnays offer the perfect balance of flavour for the spring season. These flavours are best paired with oysters, other seafood, chicken (poached), and various types of vegetables.
Dry Riesling is like another great option if you fancy. While some might not like this type of wine, others prefer it over any other. When serving Dry Riesling, you might want to opt for the younger bottles and pair t with smoked fish like salmon, trout, smoked chicken, and spiced food from South-East Asia.
Prosecco is a lovely sparkling wine and softer than most other types of bubbly. This is the perfect bottle to enjoy with some panettone. Alternatively, a light rosé is also a crowd pleaser and pairs very well with a wide variety of foods.
A young Pinot Noir is another great option for spring. This wine is known for its intense flavours which means that it’s important to pair it with foods that have stronger flavoured food like duck, salads with fresh berries, and tuna.
