Summer is the perfect season for crisp, refreshing white wines, and a few standouts truly capture the spirit of the sun-soaked months. Italian Soave, made primarily from the Garganega grape, is elegant and subtly aromatic, with notes of white peach, almond, and a gentle minerality that pairs beautifully with light summer fare. A French Vermentino—especially from the Mediterranean coast—offers a delicate balance of floral aromas, stone fruit, and a touch of salinity, evoking seaside breezes. Meanwhile, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc brings bold, vibrant flavours of passionfruit, gooseberry, and fresh-cut herbs, delivering a lively, mouthwatering finish ideal for warm evenings and alfresco dining.
This case contains;
2 x Chants du Closeau Vermentino, Languedoc, France
This wine offers subtle grapefruit and green apple aromas, complemented by floral notes. On the palate, it is savoury and refreshing, with a crisp acidity and a gently saline texture, finishing with luscious stone fruit flavours and a hint of exotic spice.
2 x Nakala Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
Very similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, this is packed with flavours of gooseberry, kiwi and citrus fruits. Great minerality to help maintain the fresh character and a succulent and refreshing finish.
2 x Le Preare Soave DOC, Soave, Italy
Delicate notes of white peach and gently floral in nature; medium-bodied, crisp and fresh combined with a hint of bitter almonds on the finish. Typical of the Garganega grape, which Soave is based on.
