White Wines: Crisp and Refreshing Choices

Spring calls for crisp, refreshing white wines that pair beautifully with seasonal produce and lighter dishes. Cork Boutique Wines' white wine collection features an impressive range of options to suit every palate and occasion.

Two standout varieties for spring are Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, while Sauvignon Blanc provides zesty, herbaceous notes that complement spring vegetables.

Rosé: The Quintessential Spring Sipper

No spring wine selection would be complete without rosé. This versatile wine style bridges the gap between white and red, offering refreshing acidity with a touch of berry fruit character. Cork Boutique Wines' rosé collection showcases a range of styles from pale Provençal to deeper-hued options.

For a classic spring rosé experience, look to the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence. These wines typically offer delicate strawberry and citrus notes with a crisp, dry finish.

Food Pairing: Spring Wines and Seasonal Cuisine

Spring's bounty of fresh produce and lighter dishes calls for wines that complement rather than overpower. Here are some pairing suggestions for classic spring meals:

3. Roast lamb and light-bodied Pinot Noir

Remember, the best pairings often come from regional matches. For example, a Provençal rosé pairs beautifully with Mediterranean-inspired spring dishes.
