I\u2019ve put together my top picks for summer wines for you to enjoy. Be sure to try one out the next time you dine with us in Forbes Street.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Sparkling<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Trenel Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne NV, Burgundy, France<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing quite like a glass of fresh lively Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne for those summer parties. Made using a traditional Champenoise method, this sparkling wine is a fantastic value alternative to Champagne, but still brings freshness and lively bubbles, with a subtle French touch. Crisp, balanced and delicately floral, Maison Trenel is a proud relative of the famous Chapoutier wine family, showcasing the purest expression of Burgundy lands and traditions.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>White<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Fresco di Bianco Biologico, Masi, Verona, Italy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This wine was made \u201cwith the simplicity of former times, but to today\u2019s high quality standards&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the best examples of handcrafted organic wines, Fresco di Bianco is an approachable wine, with low alcohol content and an authentic flavour profile, that brings you ultimate summer vibes with the first sip. Made from grapes harvested at the coolest time of day and immediately vinified, Fresco di Masi Bianco has an attractive nose of fresh fruit, with pineapple and citrus notes, and delicate wildflower aromas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Ferdinand Mayr, Gr\u00fcner Veltliner, Nieder\u00f6sterreich, Austria 2022<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gr\u00fcner Veltliner literally translates as\u00a0\u201cGreen Wine of Veltlin\u201d, where Veltlin was part of the lower Alps during 1600\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>When I think of \u201cGreen Wine\u201d, something fresh, acidic and zesty comes to mind\u2026 and that\u2019s all about famous Austrian Gr\u00fcner. Crisp, vibrant, a bit spicy and peppery, it\u2019s a real summer hit, which brings you to the sunny vibes of the old streets of Vienna with each sip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Rose:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Mirabeau &#8216;Pure&#8217; Ros\u00e9, 2019, Provence<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Staying loyal to it\u2019s name, Mirabeau is all about distinctive purity.<\/p>\n<p>This wine is a classic Provence composition of Syrah and Grenache. Grapes are gently pressed straight after the harvest, and passionately crafted to express its refined and elegant flavours. The result is an incredibly easy to love Ros\u00e9, giving you refined aromas of \u00a0citrus, pink grapefruit and subtle summer berries with a pleasing acidity and an elegant finish. Mirabeau lovingly call this &#8216;Provence in a glass&#8217;<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Red:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Floramundi, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Donnafugata, Sicily, 2021<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Floramundi is an elegant red wine is, highlighting a dialogue between two souls: floral Nero D\u2019avola, the star grape of Sicily, and Frapatto, one of the oldest local grape varieties. This wine offers a perfumed nose with floral notes, reminiscent of violets and lavender, with raspberries behind. Soft on the palate, it truly offers the perfect accompaniment for a warm summer night<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer has arrived and with it comes the promise for lazy afternoons in the sun sipping on light refreshing drinks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sin-categoria"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
