The hot days are upon us, what better than refreshing our palate with a good glass of wine? We tell you which are the best grape varieties to taste in summer.
For wine lovers, any time of the year is a good time to enjoy a glass of wine alone or with friends and family. However, the heat and high temperatures invite to make changes in the choice of bottles.
Summer wines are those varietals that do not have too much body, can be drunk at lower serving temperatures, have refreshing acidity, and have a medium or low alcohol content that does not promote dehydration. These wines are characterized by being fresh, light, and easy to drink, as they are sometimes drunk even without being accompanied by dinner, lunch, or a snack.
Do you want to know the most suitable varietals for hot days? Write down the options we bring you from Vinscent.
White wines can be consumed at low or moderate temperatures, without leaving aside the characteristic flavors and aromas of each grape variety. At the same time, they provide a pleasant sensation of acidity, which calms down the warmth of the alcohol.
Summer days are ideal to enjoy genuine and natural whites that respond to the conditions provided by the terroir. Riesling, sauvignon blanc, torrontés, viognier, chardonnay and chenin blanc are the most frequent choices.
Rosé wines are another ideal option for hot days. Because they are a middle ground between red and white varietals, they retain the body, color, and tannins of the former and the freshness and acidity of the latter.
They are not very aged, natural and expressive, and are tested at a serving temperature of around 10°C (50°F).
The most popular rosés in summer are those made from Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Malbec grapes.
Although many prefer to drink them exclusively in winter, there is no reason to stop enjoying a glass of red wine during hot days.
The ideal for summer is young reds. That is to say, those that are not harvested late, nor have been aged in oak barrels or have undergone extensive maceration periods. These are wines with a good acidity level, moderate alcohol content, and low body. Summer reds are light wines that are enjoyed at approximately 12°C (54°F). The most common grape varieties are merlot and pinot noir.
Finally, sparkling wines are also one of the most popular on hot days. Since they have bubbles and are consumed at a low temperature, they provide extra freshness to the acidity of each variety.
Pinot noir, chardonnay, torrontés, pinot meunier, riesling and chenin blanc are the favorites of the summer season.
