Summer and BBQ Wines 2024

The best wines for the summer

Cool, fresh rosé and white wine or strong red wine for your barbecue party?

Summer calls for refreshing wines that perfectly match the warm temperatures. Let’s start with light and young white wines that score with their freshness and liveliness. These wines are ideal for social gatherings outdoors or for a relaxing afternoon on the terrace. Their fruity aromas and pleasant acidity make them a real pleasure, especially when served well chilled.

In addition to the white wines, we must not forget the fruity rosés. With their vibrant color and berry fruit aromas, they are an excellent choice for summer moments. A glass of rosé on the terrace or at a picnic in the countryside adds a refreshing touch to the day.

Would you prefer Bubbly?

For those who like to toast with something bubbly, sparkling wines and MCCs are the perfect choice. These bring a festive atmosphere and are perfect for special occasions or simply to celebrate the summer.
