15 Whites & Rosés to Try This Summer
Summer is here, and for many of us, it’s a time for more rosés and whites. Thankfully there are many excellent organic whites and rosé wines to choose from, which means no shortage at all when it comes to sunshine sipping 🥂
With this list here, we’ll introduce you to some popular favourites, as well as some new whites and rosé wines to try too. Some of these wines are also included in this year’s Summer Offers.
How to serve white or rosé wine in summer?
Keep it refreshingly simple: chill, chill, chill! Pop your bottle in the fridge for a couple of hours before enjoying. Need to speed things up? A quick half-hour in the freezer will do the trick – just don’t forget it in there! When you’re outside soaking up the sun, an ice bucket is your best friend to keep things perfectly cool.
Pro tip: Fuller-bodied whites, like oak-aged Chardonnays, don’t need to be as icy cold. A shorter chill time is all they need to shine.
