European Summer Escapes: Wines to Transport You
Forget the airport queues and lost luggage. This August, we're bringing the European summer escape to your glass.
Our 'In The Spotlight' selection features six wines designed to whisk you away to sun-drenched vineyards and idyllic coastlines, all from the comfort of your own home.
We’ve curated a collection of crisp whites and vibrant rosés that truly capture the essence of a Mediterranean holiday. These aren't just bottles; they're passports to Sardinia's glittering shores, the ancient volcanic soils of Santorini, the chic breezes of Provence, and the sun-baked landscapes of Corsica and Morocco. Each one offers a taste of somewhere special, perfect for those long, hazy summer evenings.
Here’s what’s In The Spotlight this month:
Poderi Parpinello 'Ala Blanca' Vermentino di Sardegna 2024: Imagine yourself on a Sardinian beach with this dry, aromatic white. It’s bursting with Mediterranean herbs, citrus, and a lovely hint of salinity – utterly refreshing.
Domaine Papagiannakos Assyrtiko 2024: From the unique volcanic soils of Attica, just outside Athens, this Assyrtiko offers a captivating mix of mineral precision, vibrant acidity, and a subtle richness. It’s intensely refreshing and utterly compelling.
Domaine de la Vieille Tour Rosé, Côtes de Provence 2024: The quintessential Provençal rosé. Pale, elegant, and effortlessly chic, with delicate notes of red berries and a crisp, dry finish. Perfect for sipping by the pool (or paddling pool!).
Domaine Fiumicicoli Rosé 2024: Hailing from Corsica, this rosé brings a little more savoury complexity to the party. It’s got lovely red fruit, a touch of spice, and a wonderful freshness that speaks of the wild Corsican maquis.
Domaine de la Zouina 'Volubilia Gris' Rosé 2024: A fascinating rosé from Morocco that's truly unique. Pale, dry, and aromatic, with delicate fruit and a whisper of spice. It's an intriguing sip that will transport you.
