As spring bursts into life, it's the perfect time to refresh your wine rack with vibrant bottles that capture the season's joy. From sparkling rosés to light reds, there's a wealth of options to suit every taste and budget.
For a celebratory fizz, the Graham Beck Sparkling Rosé from Majestic offers exceptional value at £12 when bought as part of a mixed six. Made using the traditional method, it delivers creamy raspberry and pastry notes. Alternatively, the Jansz Tasmania Rosé, a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay, evokes strawberries and cream with refreshing acidity.
If you're looking for still rosés, the Famille Perrin Côtes de Provence Rosé from Sainsbury's is a crowd-pleaser, with citrus and white peach aromas. At £6.56 with a Nectar and mixed six deal, it's a bargain. For something more complex, the Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Sancerre Rosé offers redcurrant and strawberry flavours with a steely edge.
Don't overlook light reds and whites. The Co-op's Grenache Blanc is a soft, peachy white perfect for transitioning into warmer weather. For a unique red, try a Muscadelle from the Tarn region of southwestern France, which offers a floral, spring-like character.
Whether you're enjoying a bank holiday picnic or a sunny afternoon in the garden, these wines are sure to enhance the moment. Many are available with discounts when bought in mixed sixes, so stock up and raise a glass to spring.
